Gaining Guineas Trust

[CarlyCoolBeans]

So yesterday I bonded my guinea boys. They are doing great now. i really spoiled them and gave them spinach and carrots yesterday to help with the bonding. Today i want to work on taming my guinea pigs or gaining their trust. i know the best way to do that is through food. However yesterday i gave them quite a lot of fresh veggies. Is it okay to use a little bit of fresh veggies today as well to get them to trust me?

Yes I don't see the harm in it. If you think you gave a bit much yesterday and are worried about diarrhea give them only a small handful or why not try some grass? Food is good with bonding bit patience is key also. I leave my hand in the cage for them to come up and sniff and talk gently to them.

Why not try hand feeding them hay? Mine seem to think that hay from a human hand is far more tasty than the big pile in the corner!

Yep I gave them a little carrot snack

I think I would have to do that because giving them fresh fruits and veggies everyday I'm no sure if it'll be to much
