Junior Guinea Pig
Being wee'd on.. Sign of relaxed or frightened guinea pig?
They wee and poo so much more than I had ever thought! Such small animals, so much waste!
They enjoy lap time even with the children for about 5-10 mins especially if being fed grass at the same time, after that they become more wriggly and we put them back in their run.
My pigs get squirmy and start to back up if they need to pee. So for us, it just means that we missed the signs and waited too long to put them back. We got peed on more by babies, either because we weren't as attuned to the signs or because they weren't as attuned as to how to send us signs that we could read. They do make an effort not to pee on us, and are good enough to go back in the cage to pee and poop during floor time- not sure how they learned to do this, but Linney mastered it and taught Frenzy and then Sundae and Sundae apparently taught Hadley and I'm hoping we can keep passing it down like that because it's very convenient! The amount of time we have after given a signal depends on the pig- Hadley can hold it, but Sundae has chronic bladder issues and once she signals she has to go, you should RUN her back to her cage quickly! LOL!
