Hi, my piggies are still running from me after two months of being in my care and i take them out twice a day for cuddles and treats (cucumber is their fav :)) but every time they see me eventhrough the window they sprint off and hide

IS this a problem?
 
This is normal as piggies tend to be wary.
There are lots of posts like this under behavior , have a browse around and you may find something useful.
 
Sounds fine to me, Guineas are usually quite nervous and sudden movement and noise will have them scurrying for cover.
Keep on as you are, good luck
Anne. :)
 
Keep going, Slowly Slowly is the best approach with any nervous animal!
It will all be worth it!

also some guineas are slower to learn to trust you than others.

I have a piggy that is still very jumpy, and she has been with me for over a year now, whereas some other piggies Ive had were tame after a couple of months. You just have to be patient and wait it out :)
 
all 3 of mine do this when i open the shed doors,, only one is brave enough (and greedy ;D) to then venture out and sniff up against the wire grill watching what i am doing,, yet it only takes a sudden movement or bang to have him run back,, only 1 allows me to pick him up,, the other 2 run around beserk but are quite happy enough when i have hold of them,, i just think they are naturaly skittish and will run and hide
 
All 3 of mine run away as soon as open the shed door and i've had jessie since march ::)
 
yea no wat u mean col mine seem perfectly happy when they have a cucumber or are geting a nice cuddle
