Handling

[BellaBooMaisie1]

hey guys!
So just a general question really, we have had the girls for a month now and are both doing great thanks to our vet. However whenever we get Bella out of the cage she has started getting really wriggly and stuff and she wasn't like this about a week ago do you think we may have done somthing to scare her, her and Maisie seem to have changed personalities ha. Or do you think I may just be having bad timing with her at the moment.

Thanks

When I went away for like 2 days I came back and they were really scared. It took a while for them to gain my trust. When I first got my avatar piggy Poppy ( Easter 2014 ) she was terrified of me as the breeder had like 100 piggys in tiny cages about 50cm long with hardly any space to move literally .
I hope this is useful but I don't think it will be.

The wiggliness it is part of the normal development of a relationship with young guinea pigs, and is actually a sign that they have learned to trust you.
