Spend more time with her... DO NOT GET HER A MALE GUINEA PIG! (unless he has been fixed). A male will countinely try to mount and breed with her....stressing her out. Plus she could inflict bite wounds to the male by fighting him to get away. Furthmore if she becomes pregnant you have a bigger problem on your hands. Female guinea pigs bred after 9 months of age have complications due to the hip bones fusing together....causing birth to be fatal.
Just spend more time with her...love her. You can try to give her a female friend but depending on how old she is, they might not get along.

that is no longer ok! between the justifications is as a results of the fact they do no longer eat the comparable ingredient in any respect! You maximum easily can not feed the two one comparable nutrition. Rabbits would be undesirable ingesting guinea pig nutrition. And guinea pigs would be undesirable ingesting rabbit nutrition. You -can not- make this concern paintings. the different ingredient is they the two have very distinctive techniques of conversing. they might oftentimes vocalize and use physique language to chat with others of their own form, yet provided that they do no longer comprehend one yet another, those indicators may well be misinterpreted. to illustrate, rabbit lkanguage for being playful, would desire to scare the life out of a guinea pig if it thinks the rabbit is attacking it. and because rabbits are lots extra advantageous, one single speedy kick to the piggy (whether the rabbit is barely enjoying), and it would be severily injured and die. Many uneducated people have faith that they are comparable, and correctly suited. they are actually not in any way. They even come from thoroughly distinctive families. on an identical time as that's extremely probable that they might pass some years without loss of life terrible deaths or "attacking" eachother, you're stil being irresponsible for leaving the possibility for something undesirable to ensue. Please separate them.

you treat her real well, so she is happy, but some animals take longer to get used to people start over again slow, trying to feed her a treat from your finger, than pet her, than after awhile pick her up so on and so on, a little at a time, she will become you best friend. Good luck

you need to take her outta the cage and play with her daily, she will eventually get use to her, what ive done before and my guinea pig loved it was I got an old toothbrush and combed her with it,, she just loved it!! If your not home alot, then maybe you can get her another girl guinea to keep her company.

when you hold her, cover her eyes, and dont act like you're afraid you're gonna drop her. hold her close to your body. Firm but gentle. She must feel completely secure.
