Hello

Welcome to the forum. Baby Piggies are notoriously fast and skittish They can take a while, have a read of taming tips here in this section of our guides Settling In And Making Friends With Guinea Pigs - A Guide

Lots of hand feeding at the bars will help get them onside

There's a link in the guide sport billy mentioned on piggie whispering too which is a great insight into piggie communication!

It takes time and patience- lots of time and patience.
About 6 weeks ago I acquired a very nervous and skittish young piggy along with her mother.
They are now bonded as a mini herd with my 2 older girls
I talk to the piggies whenever I’m around so they get used to my voice.
With Phoebe she began to take food from my hand - more of a snatch and run really.
When she came out do I could clean the cage she sat on my lap in her snuggle pouch so she felt safe.
Yesterday for the first time she came out of the cage by herself but didn’t venture far.
Today she was wandering far and wide.
You just have to create a space where they feel safe and allow them time to find their own confidence.

It would be lovely to see pics of your babies
