If your guinea pig is biting, it might be do to one of two reasons. Either your guinea pig thinks that your fingers look tasty, or he doesn't feel safe and feels the need to defend himself. If it is the first case, I would recommend keeping your fingers away from his mouth, if it is the later problem, I would say that you should continue to handle him regularly in a quiet room. When you handle a guinea pig, it is important to make slow movements to be certain he knows what is happening. I find that talking in a low quiet voice while petting slowly and softly helps make the guinea pig feel more at ease.

guinea pigs will do what they want, until they are trained otherwise. If it bites you say, "bad pig", but not too loud (you don't want to hurt their ears).

It could have irratated skin. Maybe you should change mulch or the food.

Why is your dog so interested in your guinea pig?

Guinea pig bites are very rare. If your guinea pig bites you, it may be because you are holding him/her in a uncomfortable position. If you are holding hin comfortably, check over his body and make sure he hasn 't got any bites/scratches that may be irritating him. A guinea pig may also bite/nibble if it is hungry and you have a food scent on your hands.

My guinea pig bites my hands if i touch his feet what does this mean and how can i stop him?

That is normal with Guinea Pigs. It is their way of self defense. Like in the wild, some animals grab them by the feet, so they bite. You can stop it by not touching his feet otherwise it will annoy him a lot
