Keep in mind that cavies have emotions and feelings. Remain respectful and quiet so as not to stress them out. When letting others hold your cavy, make sure to supervise them to ensure that they’ll also handle them properly.
When your cavy comes to you, pick him up quietly and place your hand under his belly. In holding him, be sure that you don’t crunch his legs. You may also let them hang on your hand and pet them using your free hand. You can also try holding him unto your chest. It will surely help them feel secure.
When holding your Guinea pig, stay seated for a while. You may then begin standing up and walking him around when you think he’s now more comfortable and secure in your hands. Tell other people to do the same thing when introducing them to your cavy.
If your pet is showing any signs of illness, make an appointment with your animal hospital Pasadena, MD.
