Hello!
I just got my first guinea pigs today. I was originally going to get a hamster but these cuties stole my heart. I got two girls, about 3 mos old. They were sleeping on top of each other and I couldn’t bare to seperate them. They have been nibbling on hay all day, and rushing around a cage, and chirping. They freeze whenever I look at them and hide under a shelf, so i’m worried it’ll take a little getting use to. They also haven’t gone up their ramp to the shelf where the food pellets and water are, and won’t sit in the bed. They enjoy hiding under the shelf, in a little house, and standing next to the bed as they munch on the hay.
Any tips for a new piggie owner would be kindly appreciated!! I’m so excited!
