Hey guys!
So on Saturday (today is now the next Friday) I got two new piggies and have begun the process of trying to get them comfortable in their new home. My guinea pigs, while they?ve become more comfortable with my voice (I have yet to pick them up or pet them since they?ve been too scared), still are pretty terrified whenever there?s a noise or when I have to spot clean their cage. They run like crazy into their tunnels and houses and just all around freak out. This has me worried since coming up I will of course need to clean the whole cage (I?ve opted for fleece bedding because I liked the ease of being able to spot clean daily) and I?m wondering if anyone has any advice on how to do this in the most stress free way? I really want to bond and get them comfortable with me the proper way, so any advice is appreciated!
Thank you!
