Junior Guinea Pig
hi all,
I got my two girly piggies (still no name) on Tuesday. The lady told me she handled them and they did seem ok when she picked them up. Since arriving home they've been settling in, eating hay, little bits of veg and mostly hiding in their house or tunnel. I picked them both up today as couldn't resist having cuddles....I hope I wasn't wring to do this?! They weren't keen on being picked up and them seemed a little nervous as I held them on my lap. I did this with them individually and just for a few minutes before putting them back. I then gave them some veg but they didn't eat it!
Is it ok to be giving them cuddles at this time? They both seem a bit nervous still and hide when I walk in the room, but I was hoping cuddles may help them know I'm not going to hurt them.
I have been offering them food but as of yet they haven't taken it from my hand.
