My guinea pigs behaviour.

Question
My Guinea pig is really shy and doesn't seem to like me to pet her, and when I do she wets herself even though I've had her for 5 months.I also have another male guinea pig except he isn't shy, he just doesn't like me petting him but I've had him for a little over 1 1/2 years. What can i do to earn their trust and love?

Hi Grace

I'm sure it not something that you are doing/not doing that is making your pig a bit scared. Some pigs are just more scared and skittish than others. i have one that doesnt like being held at all too.

However, have you tried just having the pig on your lap while you watch tv or something. I have found that with a lot of time spent like this the pig does become more tame.

Good luck
