Hello,
I wasn't sure under what category to post this. Hope this is okay.
I recently got my guinea pig a salt lick, however, the second I put it in the cage she freaked out.
She briefly smelled it and run away from it and stayed far away in a corner until I removed it from the cage. She still mostly stays in the corner (it all happened about 30 minutes ago) but leaves to get some food or a drink.
I just also read that they can be very bad for your guinea pigs but couldn't find anything about why she would be so scared of it.
Did this happen to anyone else?
If so, what can I do to help my guinea pig not be so scared?
I took her out so she doesn't have to stay in the cage and she seems fine.
Thanks in advance
