Tips on training guinea pigs

Answer 1

# Take a blanket or towel and bring your guinea pig outside the cage to let it run around. Even better, barricade off an area, or an entire room, and allow the guinea pig to have some "floor time" in a large area. MAKE SURE THERE IS NOTHING THAT YOUR PIG WILL CHEW ON , THE ARE MUST BE FREE FROM PREDATORS, AND THAT THERE IS NOIHING THAT WILL HURT YOU PIG IN THE AREA IT WILL BE IN. YOU MUST PROVIDE SUPERVISION !!!

You can put them out daily in a run and this should be sufficient.

Answer 2

He he, I did this with my guinea pigs, and it worked!

Get an old towel for them them to sit on, then place a pie of carrot or brocolli or whichever vegetable they like on your knee. Cross your legs, and talk to them encouragingly. Start by placing them on your knee, and let them take a bite or the veg. Put them back on the towel, repeating this for a while. Carry on doing this, placing them a little further away each time, letting them climb up. Eventually, they should be able to climb up on their own.

I hope this is what you meant, but if not, still try it because as they progress, you can try even more complex things with them. I have mine racing back to their cage!

You give it treats to reinforce good behavior. They'll learn how to spin in a circle just for one. Cuddling with it while it is young tames it also. As a general rule they don't bite.
