Question
I just got a guinea pig two days ago and he seems to be really scared he won't let me hold him he just wants to hide is there something  I
can do to make him feel at ease?

Answer
  Hi Angela,
    Here's what I'd do if I were you. He's probably not use to being picked up. You should give him some toys to play with in his cage and everyday get him out and play with him for at least 10 to 15 minutes. Speak to him very softly for a minute, and if you have any carrots,oranges or guinea pig food put some in your hand and feed it to him. He should become more calm and feel right at home in a few weeks!!
