The girls are in their holding pen while I clean their main cage (fleece swap). This made me realize not all guinea pigs love Cilantro (Coriander). At first I thought the herd wasn't allowing her to eat in the group but she does eat in the group during veggie time. I tried to hand feed Pride some cilantro but she turned her nose away to it. You can see in the video she just circles around.

During weekly cage cleaning, I usually offer the herd a treat for being good girls as they wait for their cage to be clean

 
My youngest when I first got her, hated cilantro, so much so that she got upset if the other tastier veggies were touching or near, the dreadful cilantro, 9 months on and she eats it up just as fast as my other 3 girls, they've taught her that it's not so bad after all. So your Pride(very cute name by the way)may grow to like it in time.
 
I'm hoping the girls teach Pride to love Cilantro too. They learn from each other. When I created their piggie condo, I had one guinea pig that knew how to jump and she taught the rest of the herd to sleep on the second level.
 
They really do learn from each other, in respect of food too. I've had piggies not keen on a type of food but started to eat it because the others were.
 
Oh those bums! Love the squiggly one and the black one particularly
 
It's a feeding frenzy!
