Jaycey and Brainerror - I had forgotten but I've had the same experience at the vet. Twix tried to climb inside my jacket last time he was on the examining table. It even made the vet chuckle. Skittle gives me the "help me mom" look too.
Woah, I didn't realize how old this thread was when I saw the last post was this month.
Hi everybody!
I think my guinea pig dont like me. I bougth a male in a shop.. he's been with me for two weeks.. first he let me hold him and pet him.. now, when i try to pick him from he's cage, he starts making sounds like "prr", moving his head warning that he will bite or theeth chatering.. he also does some movements with his lower back.. he just let me pet him in the cage and eat vegetables from my hand...i dont know what to do.. I just want him to be happy.. i dont want him only in the cage without having some exercise time..
