That's true! It all depends on their preference. Some may learn to love it some will never like it at all no matter how gentle we are to them.

It's great that you're concerned about your guinea pig's well-being and trying to make the right choices for their comfort and trust-building. Here are some tips on how to approach floor time with a scared guinea pig: Start Slowly: Given that you've only had your guinea pig for two weeks and he's still getting used to his new environment, it's important to take things slowly. Guinea pigs can be naturally skittish, especially when they are new to a home. Secure the Environment: Ensure the area where you plan to do floor time is secure, so there are no hazards or places where your guinea pig can hide too well. Make sure other pets are out of the room. Use a Playpen or Enclosure: A small playpen or enclosure can be helpful for floor time, as it limits their area to explore initially and makes them feel safer. You can gradually expand their play area as they become more comfortable. Offer Treats and Positive Reinforcement: Guinea pigs can be motivated by food. Try offering small treats (like fresh veggies) to encourage your guinea pig to come out. Use a gentle and calm voice to talk to your guinea pig during floor time to associate your presence with positive experiences. Respect Their Space: If your guinea pig hides in his igloo hut, that's okay. Don't force him to come out. Let him come out at his own pace. You can place the hut in the playpen and sit quietly nearby, giving him time to explore when he's ready. Use a Cozy Blanket or Towel: You can try gently placing a cozy blanket or towel over your lap and letting your guinea pig sit on it while you're sitting on the floor. This can help them get used to your presence. Consistency is Key: Spend time with your guinea pig daily, even if it's just sitting nearby and talking to him. Consistency can help build trust over time. Be Patient: Building trust and confidence in your guinea pig can take time. It's essential to be patient and not rush the process. Remember that each guinea pig is unique, and it might take longer for some to become comfortable with handling and floor time. Always prioritize your guinea pig's comfort and well-being. If your guinea pig continues to be very fearful or stressed, consider consulting with a veterinarian or an experienced guinea pig owner for further guidance.

Hi Adrian! Thanks for watching. I hope you like you find it helpful and informational. 😊

Need to secure the area for sure!

Actually it was too long ago. I can no longer recall what it was 😂

@@GuineaDad I have no idea if a loofah is a safe chew toy, but if it IS, it would be brilliant! 😊

OMG! I love storeis like this. I am so glad to hear that you finally won your little ones over. I am so happy for you! ❤️

Oh my goodness! 😢 I'm so sorry to hear that the little guy had to go through such a traumatic experience. It's wonderful that he's found a safe and caring home with you now. Guinea pigs are gentle creatures and with time, patience, and love, I'm sure he'll come around and learn to trust again. Thank you for rescuing and giving him a second chance at a happy life. 🧡🐹

She needs time. She's been traumatized and she's afraid it might happen again. You gotta start from square one again and hopefully, she'll come around again like the last time.

I started to back to square one which i have to leave her alone for day, and often let her out everyday from her cage to have space. Ever since that day happened i never want to leave her in the living room with windows open so she can enjoy our plants, thats cause my little brother would sneak out from the room during his online class, which i learned he would disturbed her and try to feed bread again or opening the cage. So now, shes been running around in my room freely and would go to her cage back and fort whenever she's hungry, since she mostly spend time under my bed and sometimes under my table.

They have really sensitive respiratory system and has really strong sense of smell so they can surely distinguish your smell from other humans or creatures inside the house. All you have to do is to allow them to get familiar of your smell Shea :)

Cool. But how so you avoid a guinea pig biting you?

Oh that's so awesome!

It's is difficult but it's not impossible. It's definitely going to take some time and a lot of patience. 😊

@@GuineaDad thank you! I’ll keep trying! 😊 and this video was very helpful! Thank you so much!

Hey, do you have an update on that guinea pig? I wanted to share that I have two previously abused piggies and that they were able to bond beautifully well with me and some of my family! Hope all is well with your guinea pig :D

haha it's just part of my knee under the blanket with guinea pigs.

@@GuineaDad oh sorry to be annoying

Ahhh this sounds so precious 💛

After all, what matters is charm! 💗🐹Just focus on the cuteness of the guinea pig!🐹💗

Thanks for the visit. Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
