Teenage Guinea Pig
Hi guys;
So my mother bought me a new run from the Internet (we were using the top of an indoor cage for a temporary run as the one we had was very dangerous to get the guinea pigs in and out in) and...I have concerns.
The run itself was from eBay; and mum thinks she knows best regarding the guinea pigs but..okay the run is alright; its triangle shaped with an inside area and an outside area, two doors to get the guineas in and out.
My problem is I'm finding it really difficult to get the pigs back out; particularly the babies as they're still so skittish! I nearly lost one last night as it escaped past my hand to the open door, I literally had to flatten poor Bramble (I was holding on to Holly, the other baby at the time) to stop her running and loosing her completely!
I'd feel rude not using the run and Mum's already put the one I was using away in the loft anyway; I was wondering if you guys had any tips? I get nervous getting them out because they could escape!
I don't think Bramble has forgiven me yet either. Got the evils earlier.
