Pandy
Junior Guinea Pig
Just to give a background... Tedee and Polo are from a rescue lady. They have both previously been in other homes. Their approximated ages are 12-18 months. Unfortunately I was given the totally wrong advice by two people (who should have known a LOT better) on cage size and I got a 100cm cage (I was going to go for 140cm) ... I quickly realised that it was way too small. 
I've got loads of C&C grids and correx that should be with me now but the courier companies are being totally 
at getting them to me and I'm so desperate to give Tedee and Polo the extra space. When I do take them out for changing their cages or some play time they just hide or huddle in a corner together. When I take them out separately and put them on my lap for a short while they seem okay but not moving about much just a little inquisitive sniff here and there and if their teeth start chattering I put them back. I've also tried rolling out a long length of vetbed on my sofa and sitting back - still in reaction time distance (they aren't the Usain Bolt of piggies). Polo just sticks her head into a pillow ("you can't see me right?") with a big bottom hanging out the back or sits still ignoring any lovely treats. Tedee did go for the carrot tops today (I put them a little distance away) which was a very small step in the right direction and she's peed on the sofa twice now, so hope that's a good sign too. Is there anything else I can do or is it just a case of p-a-t-i-e-n-c-e? Thank you.
