Shy Piggy

[Eeva]

I have had my guinea pig law for 14 days now got him at my job when i noticed he was not moving from the corner hiding under the hay he was being stepped on by other guinea pigs and today i got him some meds for ringworm and to help gain weight i didnt notice the ringworm till today because he runs into his hut as soon as i move near his cage so i want to ask if theres a good way to check on him without scaring him too much

You need to be careful with ringworm as it is easily transmittable between piggy and human. If he has it there is a chance that all the piggies at your work have it too! It is highly contagious!
