floor time?

So we have a 7 week old piggy (Pezmerelda) No pics yet, shes too shy maybe? We recently started giving her floor time but she just sits there! Scared to death I think. I tried putting her bedding down with her on some news paper and food and her tunnel but I don't know what else to do. Will this change when she gets older? Am I doing something totally wrong?Any suggestions would be awesome. I am sure you guys have heard this worry a thousand times before but we are new to this. Neither one of us ever had a piggy before.
Anyway, thanks for listening. I look forward to hearing from fellow piggy lovers.

Re: floor time?

When my pigs were young they just sat there as well- but as you keep giving them floor time, they'll adjust and hopefully start to explore the area.
This is a very informative page if you haven't already read it: http://www.guineapigcages.com/floortime.htm
