We got two Guinea pigs yesterday. Only small still. Both boys from same litter.
They seemed terrified after I brought them home.
We've got a nice space for them and their hutch for sleeping in is fairly large at 120cm x 80cm. And other space to run around in too.
We've left them alone as much as possible to let them settle in.
I obviously cleaned their cage today and made it fresh and sorted out food and water plus veg several time
They were terrified and ran around the cage. I was quiet and gentle but it was as if they feared for their lives.
I am just so for the little piggies.
Please help me be a good mum to these piggies and help me find.a way to get them to want to come near me.
No other pets btw. I had lots growing up - dogs, cat, rabbits, chickens etc so not a novice to pet keeping. But the little piggies seem so scared and not happy that I'm really worried about them.
