Question
I got my new piggy a week days ago. She is very skiddish around me and clicks her teeth whenever i pet her. Also, she won't run in her ball or play with her toys. Is this normal?And is there anything i can do? Thanks!

Answer
Hi

Yes its perfectly normal. To tell you the truth toys are vertually useless. Guinea pigs for some reason just dont seem to play with them! Also yes she will chat her teeth and make vibrating movements and sounds and become very stiff and still. This is her time when she is confused. She wont know where she is or who you are. Eventually this will stop after a few weeks of you regulalary petting and holding her. Also its always better to buy 2 guinea pigs as it is cruel to buy just 1. Whilst she is still young id buy another girl of the simular age. This will make her less nervous and enjoy life more with a fellow guinea pig.
