Senior Guinea Pig
Rightios, if you all think I'm a saddo then sorry but this has made me happy!
For the last 7 months I've had my piggies they've ran everytime they saw me or heard my voice. It takes a while to catch them because nothing tempts them to come to you.
but, I feel like i'm actually getting somewhere now! I'm happy and surprised lol
I just went to feed them....walked towards the hutch reallllllly slowly not making much noise but quietly talking to them, I unlocked the padlock then opened the door, I know they thought about running away and they did go a bit. I started to fill up their bowl (dry food) and they came running over and just stood there - I offered my hand to them for them to sniff it and they wouldn't, so I picked up a peice of cauliflower, offered it to them and Beauty took it! I'm happy, that's the first time they've ever 1) not ran when they saw me and 2) took food from me whilst inside the hutch (they sometimes take it when sat on my lap)..well, it's taken 7 months to get this far, but I hope they keep it up...maybe I'm a saddo for being happy about this but yeah 
I've been wondering whether I've been doing something wrong, but people reassured me I was doing everything right, and I guess it's finally paid off and they're beginning to trust me, let's hope they still will later :
How long did it take for your piggies to trust you and come to you?
