New Born Pup
Hi, I've been lurking for a while, so I thought it was about time that I introduced myself.
We bought a couple of female guinea pigs for our daughter before Christmas. Well I seem to spend more time cuddling and caring and cooing over them, but we tell her that they're hers ;-)
They're called Charm and Eevee and they're incredibly skittish and still very scared of us.
There seems to be mixed advice about taming them, is it better to try to pick them up, even thought they quite clearly don't want to be, or is it better to wait and hand feed them until they're less scared of us?
I also strongly suspect that one of the girls is pregnant. She's significantly bigger than the other ad her tummy seems to be getting larger by the day. I think it must have happened before the pet shop received them.
