Junior Guinea Pig
Hi all. I have 4 boards in 2 pairs. One of them about 4 years old is still getting used to handling and finds it quite scary (he tried to hide in my jacket). When I pick him up, he immediately sticks his front legs out straight amd freezes. Because he sticks his legs out, it makes it hard to hold him in a safe and comfortable way. If there is a time he doesnt do this he squirms lots and lots making it really hard to carry him to a seat. I only hold him when I am taking him to scales to be weighed or to a seat where he can be on my lap so it's not like I spend ages just stood up. I also can't use a hide, tunnel or box because he has learned to avoid those and I csnt guide him in as he is so fast! Any ideas on why he does that, how I can possibly prevent it or what I could do to make it easier? Thanks in advance!
