Answer

Shadow and Gypsy Hello!
My giunea pigs still run and hide when they see me, wont let me pick them up regulary, and squirm while I hold them. Its been since April 12th! Dont expect a dog-human relashopship from a giunea pig. I promise that they do not and will never hate you, sweet lil things like that. Give them some time and chasing them for a hug... Exercise! Lol!

Bathing guinea pigs is optional, I do it for fun. Never bath them in the winter months, wait or a hot day in the summer or spring.
