Adult Guinea Pig

Little Oliver has been quite nervous of the piglets since he arrived on Tuesday. He would hear them wheeking and run away with his tail inbetween his legs!
I decided I would have the piglets on my lap, one at a time whilst Oliver was on the sofa. Jeff was first, it went very well. Oliver blinked at him affectionately, and licked his fur a little bit. Jeff looked a bit uncomfortable, so I put him back. Then I got Ed, who's the brave one! Ed sat on my lap, and Oliver just reached across with his paw to touch him, and then nuzzled into him and licked him. It was such a sweet moment, and Edward didn't really seem phased.
I would never leave the kitten and piglets out of their cage unattended together, but I am really glad Oliver seems to be accepting them. Bearing in mind that the piglets are bigger than he is, I think he knows he has to treat them with respect!
