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

I don't think your oldest guinea pig is beyond hope. I'm guessing that you back off from her alot when she shows you she doesn't want to be touched. I say ignore all that and pick her up anyway. Pick her up and hold her every day, as many times as you can. Once you try picking her up, don't give up, even if it takes 10 minutes. It may take months, but I think if you continue to handle her as much as possible she will settle down.

PS- I don't think she will bite you. Guinea pigs TYPICALLY don't bite, and the more nervous you become the more tense she will be. I really do hope it works out between you two!
