What is the best way to get your new guinea pig use to you?

Question

I just bought a guinea pig and I want him to be very use to me and my family so I need to know how to get him use to us.

Answer 1

everyday hold him. even if he runs away. spen quality time with it and let it out for walks every now and then

Answer 2

first talk to him in a soft voice and let him get used to your voice by talking to him all the time you can,feed him all by yourself and talk to him while you are feeding him,pet him and brush his hair,if he tries to run away from you then get him with a towel while you grab him also take him to the cage if he begins to bite your cloth cause that means he needs to go to the bathroom,wish you luck

Answer 3

cuddle him and talk to it. carry it but dont scare it good luck i had trouble with it when i had my guinea pig but now i rock mmuahahaha sorry im kinda hyper.

Answer 4

interact with it by creating sounds when you approach the cage, like have a specific noise you make when you are about to feed. he will register the sound eventually and he should run up to you wanting some food when you make that noise

Answer 5

I would suggest to handle your guinea pig often and take him out of the cage to roam the house (border of a section) let him get used to you and he will be friendly.

When you approach your guinea pig in his cage move slowly towards him and he will not run.  All guinea pigs are skittish.

to make sure your guinea pig is happy make sure he has enough space in his cage most cages that are bought do not give addequate space. I would suggest checking out the following web site.  http://www.guineapigcages.com

A happy guinea pig is a friendly guinea pig :)

Answer 6

Spend lots of time talking to him, holding him if he'll let you - it may take time for his to learn to trust you, offer him little goodies, pet him - guinea pigs are very social creatures, and they love attention!
