I have a question about guinea pigs and I would really appreciate some advice.
My guinea pig is quite shy and easily gets scared. I want to build trust and make it feel safe and comfortable around me, but Iām not fully sure about the right way to do it without stressing it out.
I recently learned that patience, calm behavior, and gentle handling are very important, and that forcing interaction can actually make them more afraid. So Iām trying to understand the best and most effective approach.
Has anyone here successfully built trust with a shy guinea pig?
What methods or routines worked best for you in your experience?
Any tips, advice, or personal experience would be really helpful. Thank you
