Why does a guinea pig act shy after just bringing it home from the pet store one day ago?

I have the same problem with my baby guinea pig bella, the first couple of days there going to be a little shakie because they have to adapt to there new surroundings so it's best not to always be poking your hands in there the first couple of days! Although some guinea pigs are used to humans already so if you get one like that then you lucked out! Basically just let your guinea pig adapt to the new surroundings. But if you can get your hands on them be gentle and don't pick them up so high off the ground. Carefully stroke them on the back to make them feel secure in your arms although some guinea pigs don't like this. GOOD LUCK!

Where do you get guinea pigs at?
A pet store. Not a pet store. Go to a shelter. There are lots of guinea pigs in need of a good home. Or you can also search your local paper for people who can no longer care for their piggies and want to give them a good home. Just make sure you do lots of research before adopting one. They needs LOTS of room to run around. Store-bought cages are never big enough.

If you buy from a small breeder, or just a pet owner that has baby (or adult guinea pigs they don't want anymore) guinea pigs, you can get them for $10, but if you buy from a pet store they are $40-$60. And that is just for the animal, then you have to buy all the supplies.

We just had this issue. I suspect it is because it's a racial slur for Italians.
How do you now if your guinea pig is hungry?
Just keep a bowl of store bought guinea pig food in your guinea pig's cage and if it gets hungry it can eat out of that. And also you can feed your guinea pig fruits and veggies every now and then. I do the same with my guinea pig, but she seems to have a problem with eating fruits and veggies. :(

What if a guinea pig sees you at the pet store and wants you as an owner and somebody else who they don't like takes them?
Well this answer has been "improved" many times, here is the deal. I have a Guinea Pig. They have been known to be smart. My Guinea Pig knows her name, knows how to squeak when she wants food, but Guinea Pigs don't have emotions by just looking at you. They do somewhat grow attached to the one that takes the home but because they love them and care for them. It would be impossible for them too just like you because they see you. But, if we did live in magical land, the chances are the Guinea Pig would bite them until they let them go. Hope this helped you.
Does Walmart sell guinea pigs?
No, but Petland does. So does Bray's. Walmart sells stuff for guinea pigs but not the guinea pigs themselves. That's because Walmart get over 80% of their stuff from China. The Walmart that's in my city used to sell fish, but they stopped.
