Answer 1

Those guinea pigs are deceased - they are ex-guinea pigs!

Answer 2

They are scared!! Try covering their hutch/box whatever you have put them in and give them something to hide under (a small box, stool, container) and just be really quiet.  Try not to touch them just yet!!

Answer 3

Are they still alive?

Answer 4

ok they might be paralysed

Answer 5

They're probably just frightened. Give them a little more confidence by providing them with a cardboard box to hide under.

either that, or they're sick.  

Answer 6

how old are they? sometimes people pull g pigs too early from mom. g pigs are unusual as they are born eyes open, full of fur, and running around. They will nurse and eat mom's food from day one. if they don't start eating on their own you might need to give them some replacement milk until they get their strength back.

Answer 7

They sound scared, give them time to settle in and put them somewhere quiet and away from you so they do eat and drink

Answer 8

They are just scared. Give them time. Don't play lound music or keep the TV up around them and keep them away from Kitchen. That will help. Maybe some low soft music for them to set focus on. and just be patient and gentle. Try picking them up daily and cuddling them.

I've had 4 and they are simply put skittish animals.
