to be hes friend he just moves &makes me
move & stop trying!



how can i be he's friend!

Answer
It takes a while to get a guinea pig used to you. Sometimes it may take months for him to get adjusted to you. You need to try to pick him up everyday. Yes he will run from you and that's because he's afraid of you which is normal. Guinea pigs are seen as prey and it's perfectly normal. just keep talking to him and slowly trying to pick him. any sudden moves can scare them.
