Hello! I have a question, so I got my guinea pigs about a week ago and their names are Luna and Penelope. Luna has started sniffing me and all trying to get used to my scent. They both are nice guinea pigs. Recently Luna has been sniffing and nibbling my finger. I move it away usually before she can start nibbling. It doesn't hurt or anything, it actually tickles. I read it's them trying to groom you and be friendly. She never bites or nips she's a pleasant little piggy. Penelope is still getting used to everything. I'm letting her come to me when she is ready. So this behavior is normal? Also when I get up she comes to the cage and kinda like following as if asking " where are you going? ". I think it's her starting to like me more and more.
 
Aw, yes they are gaining confidence and checking out. Perfectly normal behaviour x enjoy your girls x
 
Perfectly normal as @Bill & Ted have mentioned, just checking things out
 
Sounds as if she’s trusting you and showing you affection in her own piggy way.
Treasure the relationship you have with your girls
