Answer 2

1-4 weeks depending on their personality.

Answer 3

it depends on how much you work with them and how you work with them and mainly the guinea pig.

Answer 4

Depending upon the personality of the pig and whether or not it has been socialised, it can take anywhere between one month and six months.

The more you handle and play with your piggie, the faster the piggie will learn to trust you. Always have a piece of Romain lettuce, a baby carrot, or a sprig of parsley in your hand when you come to get your piggie out for play time. Before long, he/she'll come to associate seeing you with getting something yummy. This helps greatly because he/she will be very glad to see you!

Answer 5

it takes about a month for a guinea pig to get completely used to you. try your very best to not be frightening at all. no sudden movements, no loud noises, and no grabbing the guinea pig like a hawk. make her feel comfortable and safe and she will get used to you.

Answer 6

not a long time.

as long as you'll love it, they will love you back
