Answer 1

If your hamster is new than that's normal.All you need to do is tame it.

Answer 2

I had a guinea pig at one time until my mother in laws dog killed in...oh Christmas morning too.  =(  My guinea pig would do the same thing, I thought it was just because it wanted my attention.  

I do not know what kind of house you have your guinea pig in but we made a very easy and very cheap house for ours and he really loved it.  It was amazing how happier he was being in a bigger cage than the little one from the pet store.  

Check out the website that we followed when we did ours.  

We only made ours a 1 by 6 with a loft...when you see the website you will know what I am talking about.

We got the coraplast from the local sign making shop.  It cost $10 and the lady cut it for us, took about 3 days to get it in.

Good luck and email if me you have any questions about the cages.

Answer 3

There are a couple possible solutions. She might be old, she might be pregnant and protecting her young, she might of been abused by her previous owners, or she could be deaf.

Those are just extremes. She's probably just scared of you cause you're bigger than her and if you just recently got her she might not trust you or might not have your scent.

Answer 4

Just get it to trust you by taming it.  They have a lot of sites for taming guinea pigs.

Answer 5

Well, it could be abuse of a previous owner. It could still scare her. You need to tell your GuineaPig your not that kind of person. Feed her some snacks, BY HAND. Pick her up and pet her, play with her.

Or, something around her past that she sees in your room might scare her. Maybe she thinks your bringing it to her. But, thats a random reason. Its highly unlikely. First reason is more likely.
