Question
how come my guinea pig don'
t move when i put it on the floor, it  does nothing but look around and clean it self, and just sit in one spot. i have had it for 11 days now, it won"t run or walk,

Answer
Hi Lisa,
some guinea pigs just aren't that adventurous. But if you've only had him/her for 11 days then it seems likely that he/shes just not completely settled in. :) Also, if you get her/him a friend then your pig will be more active. They follow each other arround on the floor, which is very cute and good excersice too! :)
