I'm glad Nutmeg is doing better I have a 5 year old cousin and she always asks to hold my guinea pigs but I tell her no... she is so rough with my nans cat and I would hate for her to harm my pigs...
Children and Guinea Pigs dont mix... they are very delicate creatures and need to be treated with respect...
With your cousin I would let her have one on her knee UNDER SUPERVISION of course - after all children do need to be taught to respect and be gentle with animals and if they're not allowed to hold them they'll never learn. My 6 year old son does hold my piggies but I always make sure he's sitting on the floor, so there is nowhere to drop them to, and I've taught him to be gentle.
Yer... I let her pat wilson and will eventually let her hold him but she always wants to hold cindy too ;d but she cant obviously because she is pregnant... i promised her she could see the babies though so soon when cindy decides to have the bubs we can all have a playtime together or somthing... under my supervioion of course!
