Hola!
My BF and I got 2 guinea pigs from Petsmart about 3 weeks ago. Two males, Milton and Wesley. After some extensive research, we decided to build them a C&C Cage. The younger pig, Milton (4 weeks) and Wesley (6 weeks) don't seem to like each other although they are able to live together. The first 2 days we let them adjust to their new environment before handling. It's been 3 weeks now and they still seem very apprehensive of us. Wesley has a fungal infection on his nose which we have been treating with OTC medicine since we are still waiting to hear from the Vet whether or not it's ringworm. Milton shows no signs of any infection even though they have been living together.
They seem to be happy pigs so far but don't like us to handle them. I spend most of my time after work sitting next to the cage talking to them and hand feeding them various veggies I've prepared. Should I be concerned that they still haven't warmed up to us yet?
