New Born Pup
Hi I'm a new guinea pig owner - i bought - well i say bought I'm starting to think it is more of a rescue.
Theres 3 of them - brothers - about 1 year old. Two live together and 1 is on his own as apparently he got pucked on. They are ok to be handled although a wee bit skittish when trying to pick them up once theyre up theyr fine. The 2 together are eating - havent seen them drink. The single one i havent seen eat and his treens are pretty untouched. They all look healthy enough - bright eyes - coats are ok and no sign of mites etc. The big problem i have is they just wont come out of their hidey holes - the single one looks terrified although i can put my hand in and pet him hes just hiding in the corner. The two do come out but as soon as we approach theyre gone.
Is it just a time thing with them - and perseverance. Will they come round or are they passed gaining trust.
