I am starting to get worried lately abput mii guinea pigs because they are soo nervous ? :( :(
Any tips ?
 
Pigs are naturally frightened they are prey animals. Just go easy, speak to them gently, don't make any sudden noise or movement, they will gain your trust. It does take a lot of patience. :)
 
Ah bless you! :) I have a little sow and she is now 6 months, I've had her since August and its only this past week she has started trusting me more, she still won't take food from me but she doesn't hide up as much.
 
i think all piggies are different as well, Maisy came around straight away but Poppy took a while and Cookie is still learning to trust me :)
 
Some are more nervous than others (just like us I suppose lol). 3 of our piggies are just over a year old and are only just starting to stand still while you pick them up, instead of running to hide ::), Molly is 2.5 years and very chilled but still won't be stroked unless you are holding her. They are prey animals, so constantly on the watch, bless them . . . yours sound very normal :smitten: :smitten:
