our piggies

How do people get photos of all their guineas lined up? I've tried and tried and they ran everywhere so the best I could do was to try when they're in their cage

and even in the run the best I could get was....

Aww they are so cute. To line them up I have used food to bribe them. It is difficult though and there are many failed attempts!

thank you
I've tried the food thing but they just grab it and munch or run, usually they run so that Biscuit doesn't pinch it
I'll have to try when they are older, most the babies are only a couple of weeks old and far too fidgetty for photo shoots

I can never understand how people manage line ups, it's hard enough with 2 lol

Love your piggies x)

Practice? Lots of practice - and having the camera handy for the crucial 10 second slot... |)

I sat my 4 on the armchair on a blanket, as it was a smaller chair there was less space to run. Obviously for more lively, jumpy piggies you may need somewhere a little safer.
Food is always good, if there isn't much room for them to run you may be able to get them to stay still for a little longer .
I can't offer many tips as my 4 are so laid back they just sat there after a little investigating, Rosie (the oldest was the most lively, and a bit of a pain in the bum) but the other 3 gingers were good as gold.

Wiebke, your group photos are amazing! Surely you must do something else to get that many piggies to sit still enough for a photo!
