Brand new piggys!

Question
I've just bought 2 girls Guinea pigs and they're between 2-3 months. The problem is they're so energetic but i cant think of anything to do to with them. Are there any games that i can play with them, but at the same time a good way to bond? I've tried training them with treats, but they just don't seem interested.

Answer
Hi Grace

It will take a few months for young piggies to "calm down", I have a 3 month old male and he is the same.

Keep handling them and trying to hand feed and gradually they will trust you.

I love letting my pigs run around my front room and have great fun trying to capture them again!
