When You Bring Your Guinea Pigs Home
The first 3-4 days after you bring your guinea pigs home, it can be very tempting to pick them up and cuddle with them. However, they’re in a new area – and a new very scary area to them, and they need time to get adjusted to that.
Give them several days more to adjust to their new areas and life, because this is a very stressful time for them because of the changes. Try to avoid or minimize making loud noises and hovering around them, because they need to take time to feel comfortable and get used to what’s new around them.
Note:
You need to ensure that when you bring one or more guinea pigs into the house that they each have a good place or area to hide – each guinea pig needs his or her own hiding place, too, or a fight could break out!
Don’t Loom!
Ever catch yourself just looming over your dear pet’s cage, just shadowing them as you’re watching what they’re doing? This is going to scare the sweet out of your new little pet!
