Teenage Guinea Pig
We had to separate Lulu from her cagemate Sweep on Monday evening due to him having an abscess and put her in the cage next to him on her own. Last night when I let her out for a run on the carpet and went and kneeled by Sweeps cage to talk to him, she came over and went round me sniffing my knees and legs over and over again until I moved. Is she just making sure I don't hurt Sweep (he's been squealing alot when we clean his abscess, he squeals normally out of anger and frustration due to the indignity of being held up to have his bum checked) or was she checking to see if I was edible? She spent most of her run time by Sweeps cage so I think she is really missing his company
