How do you get your Guinea Pigs to like you?

[LauraMarling]

Just that really?
Got 2 females a week ago.
Done all the suggested things.
Took our time. I am very patient.
But no improvement in our relationship...

What can I do?
Feel like the more time I spend with them the more they dislike me.

Once your piggies get used to be handled and cuddled you'll regret the day you ever asked us

I seem to go nowhere without being covered in sneaky white hairs, never the brown ones ... and I think I must smell of piggies (despite dousing in expense perfume) as dogs love sniffing me

Oh yes, white hairs everywhere! All but one of our pigs are pale coloured and I like wearing dark clothes :(

Talking of pigs, here is our youngest - he's only a baby. We accidentally got him when we went to buy food.

Oh he is lovely, hope you remembered the food !!

Oh yes, they'd have frog marched down to the pet shop by now if not. They are currently playing tug of war with pak choi - despite having a piece each they all want the same piece

Whilst I understand this is a long time ago, my pigs have settled in about 8 months now and wheek when I open the fridge etc and I’ve just started picking them up daily and they let it as fast as they can, can I hope that one day they won’t run away if I keep having time with them on my lap as they do settle for about ten mins or will they always try and run
