Finally Closed Her Eyes!

[Pohtaytur]

So, my skittish guinea pig Henrietta finally started closing her eyes around me! She still runs away when she's out in the open but she's never slept with her eyes even partially closed before... Until recently! I'm pretty happy about it since she's always scared of people, so it's quite a privilege.

Sounds as if she’s feeling safe around you now.
She’s a beauty

Aw what a beauty, does she have a little friend? That often helps them become less shy

Yeah, she does! I adopted her with another pig that I call Harold. She apparently had some past trauma hence why she's always so skittish. The sanctuary wasn't sure what happened to her though, she was just abandoned. She still runs away an doesn't like me touching her at all, but so long as she's happy then it's all good for me.
