As a Guinea pig owner I can tell you that with both my guinea pigs it is simply a case of trust and building a connection between you and your guinea pig.

Basically, if your guinea pig trusts you then it will happily relax and close its eyes on you and comfortably fall asleep on you.

Guinea pigs are very relaxed and peaceful pets so you would have to be very quiet and very still (no movements) for them to fully relax on or around you.

The best way to build a connection and trust with you guinea pig is to spend lots and lots of time with it. give it food from your hand and speak to it with high pitch (baby talk).

All this takes time. Be patient and you will soon be having great times with you piggie and relaxing together.

Do guinea pig bites hurt?

Depends if your sensitive or not. To me, it feels like a little nibble. But if you threaten a Guinea pig, they can go full-force bite on you. Just yesterday, I was feeding my guinea pig some spinich and I got to close to the spinich so it bite me, but it didn't bring blood. If you have a baby guinea pig, then it can hurt because their teeth hasn't been used to chew yet, bigger guinea pigs wont hurt as bad.

How can you have fun with your guinea pig?

You can take your guinea pig outside they love that. Just make sure you don't let them eat any exotic plants. They can nibble on grass though. You can also lay on your back on the ground and put a treat on your stomach and see if your guinea pig crawls on you to get it. Another game is to put three plastic Easter eggs in front of your guinea pig. Put a treat in one of the eggs and see if your guinea pig can guess which one has the treat in it. Be creative there is tons of thing you can do.

Why do guinea pigs nibble on you?

My guinea pig licks me, too. I think that it could be the salt in our skin. Guinea pigs need salt, and you can buy salt licks for them at pet stores. They love them! Our guinea pigs prefer the non flavored salt licks. I think licking could also be a sign of affection. My guinea pig, Smorez (he's magical, by the way) will lick me as a sign of affection towards me. They do that to show that they love you. (:

Does being nibbled by a guinea pig hurt?

Usually when a guinea pig nibbles you they either are showing affection (sort of like a kiss) or they don't know what you are so they are tasting you. (if you have sweated you'll taste salty). Yes, it does hurt if their nibble is a bite kind of nibble. They will rarely ever bite you though.( Or that's what I've learned from my previous guinea pigs.) P.S. If your guinea pigs seem to be fighting, don't put your hand in the cage to grab one out. They will bite you i you do this. Just find something to separate them with. (cardboard, wood, something hard, etc.) Other than that, guinea pigs are great pets.
