Piggy temperaments

[Deleted member 148738]

I have 4 piggys and one (rusty my sheeba) is so friendly, chilled, does not run away at any sounds but my other three are so skittish unless I have food in my hand haha. Does anyone else have piggys like this!?

We've had a variety of different personalities over the years... right now we have very chill, friendly, calm Leela and very high strung Tomie!

Guinea pigs are very much condensed people in fur coats - as diverse and each of them unique in their personalities.
