I'm a new owner of 2 lovely Guinea pigs that i brought 2 days ago do any of you have any tips on how to bond with them as they are very scared and seemed to want to hide all the time
 
Hello

Welcome to the forum :)

This is totally normal behavior as piggies are prey animals and take a little while to settle in. Have a read of this thread it contains lots of useful tips on how to let them settle and come out of their shells How Do I Settle Shy New Guinea Pigs?

Love their names! Are they indoor or outdoor piggies?

Here are some other threads it is well worth having a look at -
