Wheekly Guinea Pig Help...How Do I Get a Friendly Guinea Pig?

First thing-- some guinea pigs are naturally friendly, and some aren't. You can't change a guinea pig's personality, you just have to love it! But, sometimes guinea pigs can be shy, especially if they're a new family member. Being scared is part of their nature, but over time, they can begin to trust you.

Celery is so trusting. I don't know how she manages to stay
so calm around humans!

Some things you can do is never, ever shout at your guinea pig or hit it! Your guinea pig will just become more frightened of you. To discipline a guinea pig, simply tell him/her "no" firmly.

Also, always treat your guinea pig with love and care. Sometimes, guinea pigs will become more friendly as they age, like I have.

Hello, human. What are you doing? You're taking a pigture?
Oh...I get it now.

I must sniff you all over...

As for Sandy and Bandit...

You shall never see us, human! Mwa ha ha ha ha!

Hope this helps with your guinea pig!
