What's Wrong With My Pig?

[Whitney]

I recently bought 2 guinea pigs. I bought mummy and baby pig together. Up until a couple of week ago everything had been great! But now baby pig won't even let me touch her. She squirms, squeals, kicks her back legs and runs away if I try. I have no idea what's going on with her.

Any ideas? Advice?

Hello Whitney. Welcome to the forum. When you first get a guinea pig they often let you hold them out of fear. Now that she is trying to get away it shows she has gained confidence and is letting you know she does not want to be picked up. This is perfectly normal behaviour so don't worry.
