 Care of Guinea Pig - Is Biting a Problem?


In your care of guinea pig pet, you may come across, the problem of biting. Pigs do not bite very often. If they do get scared, they will generally run away and hide, instead of getting physical. Most of the time kids and adults will be able to safely and easily hold their pigs without fear of them biting. One good tip to remember though, is that it is good to watch your hands with soap prior to taking them out of their guinea pig run. This is because if you have some food or food smells on your fingers the animal is more likely to have a nibble.


If a guinea pig is very young it may generously bite your fingertips. This is because like any baby animal they put everything in their mouth. During your experiences with cavies, you may stumble upon one that does indeed bite. This will not happen often but in case it does here are some tips.


There are two main reasons and animal will fight out to you.


1. They are scared of you.

2. They feel like they are dominating you.


In order to help your pet you need to know why he's biting.


If a piggie pet is scared of you, you will notice that it is very shy and will try to run away from you. He may often run and bury himself in his cage and will begin to shiver if you try to touch him. To remedy the situation you need to train your cavy so that he is not afraid of you.


This is a slow and patient process. Instead of picking your guinea pig up straightaway you may like to just stroke their head. Only do this for a short time and gradually, when the creature is feeling more comfortable with you, increase the amount of contact you have.


Some things you never want to do if you have this situation with your pet. Do not make guinea pig squeaking sounds if your pet bites you. This will allow your pet to feel more dominant and he will increase his aggression towards you. In your care of guinea pig you never ever should yell or scream at your pet. You should also never hit your guinea pig either.


If you do find you have an animal with a biting problem it is a great idea to let an adult deal with the guinea pig until the problem is under control.
