Hello, I’m a new owner myself & have only had my girls a few months. They still run when I go to pick them up but are getting a lot better. As far as I know it’s normal for them to run when getting picked up even after they are tame. Queenie really disliked being petted or held & always tried to run away. Now she loves cuddles & comes into my knee herself for chin rubs. Princess was more docile from the get go but all guinea pigs have different personalities. I think 2 weeks is very early as they need to gain trust. It will come with time I’m sure. Queenie still won’t take food from me but has become so living & tame compared to the beginning. I thought perhaps she was maybe a guinea pig that just didn’t like affection & that would have been ok but they both love it now. Hang in there & give them time xHey,
I bought pigs two weeks ago.
They're still scared of me ...
I tried the tips you offered me:
Cover the cage, feed it ...
What else can you do?
