Hello everyone I am going to adopt a bonded pair of guinea pig girls tomorrow and I am SO excited!
The old owner was a great owner and I met her here on this forum so I know the girls had a wonderful life with her! They will have a c&c cage which I am buying from the old owner along with toys, fleece, cozies, ext, as well
Now most of their things wont change, but obviously the environment and voices will be completely new to them so I am planning on giving them 2-3 days to just settle in without any handling. Now my question is after this settling in period what would you advise me to do from there?
Which steps should I take to make them comfortable with me? I just want them to be happy piggies and of course I know it will take time for them to adjust to the new environment and me. I just want to be sure I take the appropriate steps and make our interactions as comfy and stress free as possible!
Any advice, personal experiences, opinions are gladly accepted!
Thank ahead of time!
