  Not Ranked. Helpful AND tactful post? : 0 Re: Piglett doesn't seem to like floor time | |
He'll take time to get used to floor time. My Linus Piggy was freaked out by his huge (in his opinion) 2X4 cage and didn't want to come out of pigaloo when we first got him from the petstore. His petstore cage had been barely big enough for his pigaloo.
Now he bounces around it, squeaks at his neighbor and does another lap. So give him some time. I've found the best way to get a piggy to relax during floor time is turn off the TV, and other sounds and basically put them on the floor and let them pretend your not there.
I start them out in front of my lap, so they know were I am and they can come back to me if they get scared. I also have a grids wire tied together like a playpen, because I finally got tired of getting guinea piggies out from under the couch. (This was also the favorite pooing spot. So I let them go in front of me and let them wonder around. I sometimes put some hay out to. I also usually let them run around by their cage, its always funny to see the piggy looking in being like why does this smell like me.
Piglet will calm down after a while once he gets used to it.  |
