We've had our male guinea pig Jake for almost a year - he was the most loving cuddly little boy until we bought him a girlfriend, Penny. (He's neutered) They've been together for a month now and he's stopped showing us any love. If we go to pick him up he squeals and struggles and runs away to her, he used to love being picked up and cuddled! We thought it was a temporary thing, but he's not the same as he used to be.
Penny isn't very friendly, she only comes out of her box when she thinks we're not looking, and won't pay us much attention. They amuse us for hours just watching them! They're so happy - they chase each other and popcorn and squeak, and won't be seperated - they follow each other everywhere. But if we move closer to them, or go to give them a carrot or stroke them they bolt. They don't love us. Is there anything we can do to get our cuddly boy back?
