Hey All,
We've had our to Guinea Pigs for 8 days today and have yet to handle them.
They live indoors and are very happy happy in their environment, they come out for exercise outdoors (if dry) and indoors twice a day.
They are comfortable with us walking around and are getting less frightened and not hiding so much.
They are feeding from our hands and seem comfortable being near us but when we touch them they hide. I tried using a soft brush in one yesterday and she was very comfortable being stroked whilst eating but then when we attempted it again she got scared.
We are really trying to gain their trust at the moment so don't want to just pick them up.
Any suggestions? Tia
