Junior Guinea Pig
Mot sure if this is the right area sorry if it isn't I couldn't find a taming section so I thought this might link to behaviour. I have had a male baby guinea pig for about 2 months now and was worried about the progress I am making with taming. The guinea pig he is living woth is also relatively new (had for about 4 months) and he is doing pretty well takes food from me now and we are getting used to lap time. But woth my younger one we try hand feeding often however there has only been 1 time where he has nibbled a carrot from my hand. I sit woth my hand in for about 5 minutes but he is still too nervous to come out and don't want to progress onto lap time if he isnt ready. I am also having some trouble picking them both up the youngest runs away and I try to guide him into a hide but he won't go in, I try my bare hands and it ends up me chasing hin around the cage and having to sort of grab him which I feel so guilty about and I only do this when doing a full cage clean about once a week. Any tips? Sorry for the long message.
