    1. Provide places to hide
    2. Make them get used to your voice
    3. Food makes the heart grow fonder
    4. Avoid chasing them
    5. Play with food
    6. Trust (resist patting/ picking up)
    7. Give it time

    • @absolutely_nobody28
      @absolutely_nobody28 4 роки тому +8

      Try leaving something that smells like you near the cage (or in it if they won't eat it). They'll be able to have your scent with them when you're not physically there

    • @EllixbelliX
      @EllixbelliX 4 роки тому +6

      He lost the trust in you. Mine were some vacations so sad, that one of them bite in my finger when I come home. Don't be too sad, try to get your friendship back. Do what is sayn in the video. You piggy will accept you again if he can see that you won't leave again :)

    • @demonhonker6266
      @demonhonker6266 7 років тому +10

      The thing is my piggies aren't new at all they are about 1 year old, and my other two are less than than but not close to babies. They just are very skittish and we don't have room for hidey houses on their cages

    • @demonhonker6266
      @demonhonker6266 7 років тому +5

      I can't afford bigger cages we basiclly put them in walmart totes as big aas we could get. and they are see through so we can keep an eye on them

    • @Methos1338
      @Methos1338 7 років тому +21

      Buddy, that is not enough for 3 of them. Get them hidey houses or you, your hand and anything big around them will feel like a predator that they cant hide from. Of course they don't like you yet. They have to be extremely careful with anything that comes close, so they defend themselves. If you can't get any better housing for them try this:
      Get a tote that is not that big in height but more flat and wide. then get a blanket and always keep half of it covered so they can run under there if they want to. That way they will have a possibility to hide whenever they want and will start becoming more relaxed, even in your presence. Then slowly make them grow comfortable near you. It will work, i promise.

    The tip about talking to the pigs has helped them feel even more comfy around me and has also helped my mental health as I can tell them anything without judgement and or ways I can change other peoples views on me and It fells nice not having someone shove their opinions down your throat while also not telling the guilt of shoving your opinions down their throat

When I hand-feed them they take a few seconds to trust me. And also every time they hear something they seriously jump and run around the cage. They get alarmed easily.

      If it’s new then that mistake what ur doing is doing a terrible thing because hamsters and guinea pigs are scared and shy so maybe u have to let them have 10 minutes to relax and have heir time

      Caitlin Boyle I would recommend getting her a friend because guinea pigs can not live alone.
      If you have only 1 guinea pig it's not happy and probably sad.
      Maybe it will help.

    I got my two Guinea pigs last Wednesday (two previously bonded male adults from a small animal sanctuary) They already eat from my hand and sometimes they get excited when I walk in the room or open their bag of hay. When I feed them or clean their cage sometimes they will follow my hand around sniffing it making little wheeking sounds. I havent tried to handle them yet as they will let me sort of pet their nose but arent fond of me touching anywhere else. That last tip of playing with the food in your hand is genius! I cant wait to try that at their next veggie snack time!!! So hard not to dream of having a herd like yours when i watch these videos!!

      A male and a female can be together in a cage without having babies. You just have to make sure the male is neutered.

      Do not get a guinea pig for your class. Their needs are complicated and even if you give them the best of your care, them would be scared by all the students and new noises. How would you take care of them at the weekend

    Little adventures, you are the one that inspired me to get a guinea pig. Luckily, my friend didn't want her guinea pig so we took care of her. I then noticed that in your videos, you said that guinea pigs need friends and big cages and lords of toys. So today we are going to get a new guinea pig. Wish me luck!

      Livy Bug I was only allowed to get one, and she is perfectly fine without another Guinea Pig. She behaves as any normal one would. I don't see a problem with having just one, especially if you give it proper care and attention. Don't start getting on this person just because they can only get one. It's not like they had a choice. Chill out.

    • @katemarietta5798

      Some guinea pigs are fine on their own, so you aren't in the worst shape :) though people do say it is better to get two, but there isn't a law against getting one. You can also give it lots of love and attention. It's fine, I wouldn't worry about it :)
