Re: I can't tame my Guinea Pigs :(

My two new girls were very skittish when I first got them and would not let us near them. I would usually put a cozy in the cage and when they went into it, then I would gently pick them up while they were still in the cozy. Then I would place the cozy on my lap. I would give them several minutes in there before I would even try to pet them. Eventually I started rolling back the edges of the cozy so they could see me better. It took a lot of patience and a lot of time, but now they enjoy being held even without the cazy. Good luck!
