Floor time Question

[Patch]

When ever I try and give my guinea pig floor time he sits right were I put him down and does not more, well he only does this when he is on hard wood or when there is more than one person. When he is in my room just with me he goes and hides. My dad calls him a stuffed animal because he says he never move lol

Does he have a friend? That will ease his fears. You could scatter food around, and make sure there's plenty of hay and places to hide

I agree, a friend makes them bolder.

Just give him time. Ruthie is a single pig and runs alllll around the kitchen. hehe she thinks she always has the right of way

I've read that guinnea pigs' vision is quite poor, and that large spaces can frighten them because they can't be sure of what is around them. If this is the case, maybe once your guinnea realises there is nothing for him to fear in his new enviroment he'll relax a bit.

I would like to get him a friend...but I dont know if my parents will let me But if I did get another I would most likley rescue one
