Talking They're here!!!!!!
I am ever so worried though, they are TERRIFIED!

They keep hiding behind their bed snuggling with each other, I managed to hold one for quite some time but then he got scared, the other just wouldn't let me near him at all. Was Teddy actually who ran off.

Toffee is the one looking at the camera, Teddy is hiding behind!

I have made them a dish of celery, tomatoes and cucumber and they haven't touched it. I have turned the light off and left the room now to let them settle.

Please tell me this behaviour is normal.

On a lighter note, the breeder gave me a pedigree certificate and a care sheet.

Re: They're here!!!!!!
Sorry I don't know much about gp's but just wanted to say....they are sooo cute !!! And if they are like rats and hamsters ect, it will take them a while to get used to their new surroundings and new smells and stuff. I'm sure after a little while they will come out of their shell.

Congrats on you new additions =)

They are gorgeous guinea pigs are often veyr nervous babies, don't worry, try talking to them gently, and then build up to stroking then picking up. They'll get there.

Awwwww they are absolutely beautiful - I'm jealous.

Yes they are all nervous at first so don't worry about it - they will soon settle.

They are still scared when I handle them but they are eating and drinking so I am happy, I even had my first squeaks today when I put the fruit and veg in, I was spying on them munching away, they didn't know I was there!

Re: They're here!!!!!!
Oh don't worry they will soon come out of themselves when food is concerned. My male and female who live inside are almost out of the cage trying to get in the bag of salad as soon as I open their cages to give them some. Iggy puts her head in the bag and picks her own.

Iggy is my singing guinea pig. (there is a video of her somewhere doing the guinea pig song.)
