That's just about how big a female guinea pig gets. They may get a tiny bit bigger, but not by much My boy guinea pigs are a bit bigger. My friend's guinea pig which is a girl is small too.
If a guinea pig bites you when hand feeding, gently remove your hand and don't punish or yell at the guinea pig. This behavior may indicate they are stressed or scared. Give them space and time to calm down before attempting to hand feed them again. It's also a good idea to consult with a vet or animal behaviorist for further guidance.
You put your hand under it's but and lay your other hand on it's back. The guinea pig should be leaning on you.
no, the oils from your skin will not harm your guinea pig.
to handle a guinea pigs, you need one hand under their belly, and one hand on there back sholder so they will feel comfortable and not justmp
Guinea pig
About half the size of your hand.
Guinea pigs are prey animals and can be naturally timid around humans. It may take time and patience to build trust with your guinea pig. Try hand-feeding treats, speaking softly, and spending more time near her cage to help her become more comfortable with you.
about as big as ur hand or fist
You put one hand on it's bottom and the other hand goes around it's tummy.
Baby guinea pigs will usually fit right into the palm of your hand, and have quite large feet; adult guinea pigs are easily the size of a football.
I suggest letting the baby guinea pigs alone for the first day or so. After that, you want to handle them (although of course very gently and so on) as most as possible, so that they can get used to humans being around them, and so they can be easier to handle later on.
If the guinea pig was not held a lot when it was small, it will be unaccustomed to being restrained by someone's hand, and will be easily frightened.
