Introducing Dante & Vergil! ;DIntroducing Dante & Vergil! ;DIntroducing Dante & Vergil! ;D

Hi there! My name is Matz. Ive been lurking here for a few weeks now and decided to start posting to really join this wonderful community ;D Im a new guinea pig owner so I'll have questions here and there if that's okay.

Dante is the tri-colored and Vergil is the panda looking one. I got their names from a video game haha, well my boyfriend actually named them, it doesn't sound cute at first but I got used to it ;p

I never knew guinea pigs could be so hyper, Vergil popcorns and runs around his cage all the time! It's so fun to watch!

Hmm question, how come even though Vergil is like that he still doesn't like to be pet in his cage, while Dante is okay with it. I mean he would jump and popcorn like crazy and stick his face on their cage but when I touch him he runs. It's just so weird for me.

Welcome, adorable piggies!

As for your question, guinea pigs are prey animals, most of them will run from you when you come near, usually all their lives. Some will tolerate you being near them after they get used to you, some will like it, some will even come up to you, but the general consensus is that you are trying to eat them for dinner. My Marshmallow tolerates me picking him up now, he will sit in one place and let me do it but not really willingly. My Chocolate goes into the great race and I have to chase him down usually.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome ;D

And thank you for the response about my question, I guess I better keep that in mind and not compare the two. I will just continue to love and take care of them ;)
