Hello,
We adopted two guinea pigs a couple of weeks ago. One of them is much bolder and now wheeks when she hears the fridge door! I put out a big plate of veggies for them every evening, and she will come out of her hidey and get stuck in. The other one is much more reserved and I have yet to see her come out and eat in the open, though she will occasionally sneak out and very quickly take a piece and retreat. I have started putting veg for her in the hidey where she is sitting, but her cheeky friend quite often muscles in and takes it for herself! I put out the equivalent of a cup each but I reckon that Little Miss Confident is getting at least 80%! Wondering if there is a way I haven't thought of to make sure she gets her share? Also is it possible she may never be confident enough to come out and eat? They are in our main living space so we are in there most of the time walking around.
