How To Tame Guinea Pigs
How To Tame Guinea Pigs
It is important that we remember that guinea pigs are not cuddly toys. Despite their cuddly and cute appearance, we have to respect that they are not teddy bears and don't enjoy being picked up and cuddled. In general, guinea pigs should only ever be picked up if required for moving them from one place to another, health checks, nail trimming, vet trips and syringe feeding. Approaching guinea pigs from above is a bad idea as they associate this with a predator, therefore their instinct is to run away or hide, so you should always keep that in mind. Picking them up can cause a lot of unnecessary stress. It is definitely possible to bond with your guinea pigs and for them to gain your trust, but this takes time and patience.
