@@milkshake8845 I was responding under the context of, "what if I want to hold them when they are hiding in there hut". You may be able to do it with your guinea pig when they are comfortable being around you but if you try and snatch them while they are hiding in a place they feel safe they will be terrified and that outways the desire to pick them up in my opinion.

Finally got one after 4 and a bit years. Hope you Are getting on with your new piggy

[@CopleyOne]

Me and my boyfriend got ourselves two guinea pigs pretty recently, only 3 weeks old. We were told by the lady at the pet store, who have many guinea pigs herself, to leave tha cage open and not have any hiding spots for the piggies out. This way, they will get used to you roaming around more easily, and will in general be more accepting towards your movements. We made sure they had plenty of hay in a corner to hide in, but other than that nothing. It worked for us, after only one week they show great trust. They have hiding huts now but are not glued to them. Just thought I'd let people know, since it seems normal to give them a hiding space from the beginning, and I honestly think this will make the process of bonding with them much slower.

[@CopleyOne]

@achlys.the.powerful.therian. It was going great! We expanded their cage so much that we could both sit down with them in there and give them treats and cuddles. They loved climbing all over us. Sadly, my partner developed asthma as well as allergies due to them, so in the end we had to give them away. They’re with some family members of mine now on Naboo, loving life with lots of love every day! But they’ll be forever missed by the entire staff here on the Death Star.

I'm new to owning piggies, but my 2 girls ended up being beyond skittish when I brought them home last week. Started prepping their veggie bowl in front of them while talking to them (whisper/gently) and playing rainfall sounds before feeding them. Then I sit w/ them for an hour or so just watching them eat/communicate. Massive improvements seen, now when I come out they're popcorning and wheeking instead of just sitting in their hut. They (mine) do NOT like being held for more than 2 minutes, though.

I'm going to have to give this a try... I've had two really tamed guinea pigs in the past. One which recently passed, and have been trying to introduce two new ones... However they are a lot more skittish and very territorial to my older guinea... I've had to keep them separate and they are every scared towards me. I'll admit I've been a little frustrated. Especially with other people in the house causing more issues with the progression when I do try to take it slow... It's either I have to put them on lock down with only contact with me for a while trying this out (cause the other house hold members refuse to listen) or give them up to the rescue I got them from. Not their fault. They're just young and I've never dealt with such wild piggies before. Can't treat them like my other one. I'll give this a try and see how things go. Just feels like rolling a bolder up hill already! :c
