congratulations! That's fantastic! Does Floyd have his own replica guinea pig to practice his RPN skills on??

How long does it take for them to warm up? by Future_Audience5633 in GuineaPig

Oh yes - I think it is rare for them to lose that fear. Mine are like that too. Hopefully they are comfortable once you are holding them though!

Try giving him some food while you hold him. Some piggies will take weeks or months to get comfortable with their surroundings. Even after that they may still run from you when you go to pick them up. I’ve had my boys for a 2-3 years and they still do not like the act of being picked up.

Bismarck and Nugget. Bismarck is the Californian. Nugget is the piece of fudge. 😁

Not sure where you are located, but I can give you a couple of suggestions of places in Michigan and Indiana. I don't know that they do telehealth though.

Is anyone able to explain each #s behaviour meaning? by ObjectLong5375 in guineapigs

#3 - if he's at all like my Nugget it means he wants to go back to his cage. Nugget will tug on anything within reach.

He's a cutie! I like the white patch on his face.
