Question
I got a harness and a leash for my guinea pig.  She is getting use to the harness but she won't walk on the leash for me.  Do you have any tips for me to try?  

Answer
Dear Jennifer,
Mostly guinea pigs will not walk on a leash. It is very good that you got her used to the harness, because usually that is very hard.  You could try putting tiny bits of her favorite food/treat in a trail to get her used to walking on a leash, however i cannot garuntee success.  Good Luck!
