Junior Guinea Pig
I've heard that some guinea pigs open up to their owners in years, but I know I can be a little impatient. My oldest guinea pig, Midnight, is afraid of being picked up. She's good in the cage, and isn't afraid when I approach her, but when I pick her up she goes crazy! She uses a lot of her strength, but never bites. I have to hold her in a position where all four of her feet are flat and it seems unsafe to me and I don't want to risk her jumping out of my hands. Is there any way I can get her to relax being picked up?
