Bit Of Help Please

[Nanna Kiwi]

Hi Everyone
At last tomorrow I am going to get my 2 Boys. I am getting them from a family which got them for their Son but unfortunately he has lost interest in them so they decided to rehome them.
They are 9 months old and have been handled regularly.
Do you think I should start to handle them straight away or leave them to settle a while.
Any help or tips you can give me would be very appreciated as it has been quite a few years since I have had Guineas and have never had Boys.
Thank you so much x

Give them a couple of days to settle into their new surroundings and get their bearings.
By then you should have a good idea whether they have been well looked after or are very skittish around people. Take it from there.

Leave them alone for about a week then you can pick them up unless you think they need more or less time your the owner I have three boars and when I got them I didn’t know to give them time and before they got any time to settle in we had guests over and of course my most timid is everyone’s favorite

Give them a few days to settle into their new home and get used to the new smells and sounds.
They will quickly get used to your voice and associate you with food and love.
Hope they do settle quickly.
Looking forward to pictures
