    When I was five I got my first guinea-baby, Wirimu. He had no choice. He shared my weetbix with me, came shopping with me, sometimes I'd sneak him into bed with me (in winter. He lived outdoors), came to school a couple of times in his special carry cage (my mum would take him home afterwards). 7 years he and I were inseparable. Cuddles, kisses, feedings. We got him a girlfriend which cured his persistent constipation. Our vet suggested it as a joke, but it worked lol so a couple litters of babies that were always tamed (I've never let my girls have more than two litters) and sent to good homes (friends and family & friends of friends families, etc...) I stopped keeping them.when I had my own (human) baby because I couldn't give them the time they deserved. Maybe when my youngest is older I'll have a guinea pig again...they brought so much joy to people who met them.

    Being patient and consistent is basically the number 1 advice. My two ladies, Lieschen and Molle, were both tame in their own way. Molle was a verrrrry verrrrry tame pig. She was super curious and used to jump on my lap. I never trained it. She just decided I wasn't a threat. While Lieschen on the other side just minded her own business. She was a "my pace" guinea pig and very slow and shy. But she was very communicative, and always started squeeking first for food. Sadly they past away. But I still love them sooooo much.

Well last night they all climbed on my lap for a payment of pea flakes of course :) one actually just stayed on my lap for about 5 mins.

The little ones are still pretty scared, but they are certainly getting much more confident, where as the elder piggy is very confident with me.

    I have my 2 young guinea pigs for 2 weeks now. When they arrived they were super scared and just stayed frozen in their houses and only came out when I was at least one room away from the cage. Now they know when it's feeding time and get excited and wheek for food and just today the younger one allowed me to pet his head carefully while handfeeding them dandelion. They really made a lot of progress and I think by next week they are ready for floor time :)

    My old guinea pig, Willow, lived for 6 years, and she was so loving and cuddly with me. After a few months without her, I decided to get another, and eventually a second one. I just got Echo, the first one, and she is very scared, timid, and quiet. I'm having trouble remembering how to initiate the bond with a guinea pig since it has been so long. This video really has helped, but I don't quiet know how to handle a guinea pig with this personality. Do you, or anyone else, have any suggestions for a more timid, scared type of guinea pig? What can I do to make her more comfortable? ( I do plan on getting the second one in about a month, so that Echo has more time to adjust to me and her surroundings)

    hi, I have a guinea pig named willow and my sister has a guinea pig (truffle). I got them on Feb 9, 2020. (they were born in October making them about 4 months when I got them from PetSmart. Its now march 29, 2020.) they don't really trust me and they spend all their time in their hideys. they have only been eating their pellets and hay, I watched a lot of your videos on how to bond and build trust with them but they never really come out unless they are eating. I do floor time regularly about twice a day for about half hour each. willow comes out and is curios and looks around and then truffle follows her everywhere. (Truffle is more the scared one, but they are both scared). I don't know what else to do with them because they are to scared. Whenever I come up to their cage, their bedding goes flying because they take off to their hideys so fast, even if im making very slow movements. I don't know what else to do to make them come to their cage door waiting for me like yours do. I have also recently tried to get them to start eating vegtables (I also watched your video about how to wean them onto them by starting with carrots) and I took their pellets away so they would be hungry enough to try them but they haven't touched them. I don't know if they don't like them or if they just don't wanna try them but I also don't wanna starve them. Willow lets me pet her nose when everything is very quiet and shes been sitting there for a bit but if I reach my hand into the cage to pet her she runs away. I have also tried a bunch of different treats but they wont eat them. I first tried to hand feed them but they wouldnt eat it from there so I left it in their cage for a couple hours but they still wouldn't touch them. But please help me with the veggie issue. Should I put the pellets back and keep putting vitamins in their water or should I keep their pellets away and keep trying with the carrots. (I wont ever take the hay away though because I know that's a big part of their diet so they always have acess to hay). Please help me :(

    Little adventures, I’m building a huge cage for my guinea pig, it’s going to be 49x29 and I couldn’t afford all those shavings, and I really didn’t want a blanket because I feel like that would get messy. Do you have any recommendations? I feel like wood shaving might be dangerous? If you have any recommendations Of cheap and safe shavings please let me know😊
