Is it good that my guinea pigs will hand feed after just 24 hours? Thanks in advance ;)
 
Are they taking food straight from your hand ? If they are doing this , they trust you enough to do so , so it is a good sign.
 
I can see you are going to be a true guinea slave !

It's a running joke - a lot of us refer to ourselves a guinea pig slaves implying that we are here to serve them.
 
I just managed to get them both to nibble on some red pepper from my fingers :)
 
I find when getting them to hand feed look at them more side on & I used to lay on the floor to be more their level. Works with my more timid pigs
 
The things we do for our piggies. To an outsider I probably looked insane laying on the floor next to their cage trying not to look directly at them :lol!:

Mine ate from my hands quickly too which surprised me. They will eat from me when I'm holding them but they won't voluntarily come up to me for food. They are however getting braver when I'm cleaning them out and feeding them, by venturing our of their log tunnel :)
