My guinea pig Piggee just refuses to be picked up, and hates it when I try and pet her. She just doesn't like being touched. I thought maybe working with her every day, trying to hold her and pet her might get her accustomed to it, but today was a disaster. I had her on my floor in a play pen and when I went to pick her up, she slipped out of my grasp and used my hands as a launch pad to jump right out of the playpen! Luckily she landed her food box and I was able to quickly grab her and put her back in, but man, after that I don't think she'll let me touch her AT ALL. I thought I hurt her too, because she went immediatly layed down in her cage and seemed to not be moving her back legs much. I think she's okay though, she's been acting normal since then. She is still laying down though, but perhaps I just wore her out. But the poor thing, I want so badly to cuddle with her and just make her feel safe and instead I ended up straddling her and basically dropping her back in the play pen. I feel so bad
