My piggy went through the same thing, he needs a salt lick, they sell them at every pet store. We have salt on our hands and body from sweating and guinea pigs thinks it tastes good, they love salt and your guinea pig will be very happy once he receives his salt lick!

Guinea pigs don't need salt licks. It could be that your pet is being affectionate (that's what I like to think when mine does that!).

It's true, they don't need salt licks. Mine has one and he likes it, but he still licks our fingers. It could just be him being affectionate, or liking the taste of salt on your fingers, or it could mean he needs putting back to go to the toilet or something. If you're holding him while you're stood up, it might mean he wants to get down, as guinea pigs don't like being held high.

We use to rise them they do that to get the salt from your skin Well, I wouldn't say it means they are happy, it definitely means they are not scared. They wouldn't do that if they were at all uneasy, so it's a good thing! They also groom each other, so in addition to getting salt from your skin, they may just be grooming you or kissing you! They also lightly nibble sometimes. It means they have grown to like you

How do you get along with gerbils so they be your friend?

you have to be patient with your gerbil(s). wait a few days, with minimal contact. then, take a treat, such as a seed, and open up your hand. let your gerbil sniff your hand, and finally, let him take the treat. this shows the gerbil that your hand is peaceful. it will get use to your hand in a few days, and so, you will be able to play with him. (be with him in a large area with very big walls, as gerbils jump very high.
