Hi,
I’ve got two guinea-pigs Eric and Ernie (Eric is the black piggy in my picture and Ernie the blonde one). Earlier today Ernie jumped out of my hands and miraculously fell into a hanging basket so he didn’t fall on the ground! I think he’s okay, I’m keeping an eye on him but there doesn’t seem to be any injuries and his behaviour is normal - thank god!
I just wondered if anyone had any tips on handling nervous piggies? Eric is fine with being picked up and handled. But Ernie always panics when I pick him up and tries to jump out of my arms. It’s weird as well, because if I sit with him on my knee he loves it! But whenever I’m picking him up to put him in the outside run he panics... Has anyone got any advice? He seriously scared me earlier jumping out my arms so any advice would be really appreciated!
