Question
Whenever I take my piggy out of her cage to exercise on the floor, she won't move. What should I do? I put her in an exercise ball once and she still didn't move.

Answer
Hi Tress

Exercize balls are not suitable for guinea pigs, even though they are made for them by the shops.

Don't worry that your pig doesn't move, she is probabaly overwhelmed by the open space! Spend time with her on your knee building a relationship between you. Some piggies simply are more active than others. No need to worry.
