Handling new guniea pig

09/22/2023

I just brought my guniea pig home from the pet store. He has pellets, greens, and plenty of hay! I did read that you should not handle your guniea pig for the first few days to avoid stressing your guniea out. However, can I still spot clean his cage? Should I still put him in his pen so he can get Excercise? Should I just wait a few days before doing anything with him at all? I could be over thinking but I just want to do the right thing. Thank you!

Once he seems more confident, you can gradually introduce gentle handling and supervised exercise. I find the same “don’t rush into things” approach useful online too — whether researching pet care or browsing an entertainment site such as Kingmaker Casino, it’s worth taking time to understand what you’re dealing with first. With your guinea pig, patience now will probably make handling much easier later.

It is defiently better to just leave them alone for a five-seven days. Hust give them a lot of taste treats and speak to them, maybe even sit by the cage so they can get used to your flavour.
