Hi,
I got 2 new female guinea pigs 2 days ago. I know it’s early days but they still stay hiding in their hidey. It looks like they come out during the night, but no evidence that they’ve been out during the day and certainly not been out when I’m around.
I’ve been leaving fresh veg or a piece of fruit a couple of times a day, but they haven’t been touched. I got them from a pet shop so think they’re not used to fresh veg?
If veg isn’t something they recognise as food or have a particular desire for right now, how do I convince them that I’m not going to hurt them and get them to associate me with food or something pleasurable?
Thanks
