The biggest impression you can make on your guinea pig I would think for sure would be when they are young. After that you can only do so much. But make sure that you try to never startle your guinea pig (running by it's cage or grabbing it suddenly etc.) and you can give him/her treats from your hand to help him/her understand that your not going to hurt them. Make sure that you take them out often and when you are picking them up try to stroke them first and not pick them up all of a sudden.

Guinea pigs only become more tame if you love them and handle them regularly. Pick them up gently - one hand under its bottom and the other under its shoulders. Sit down with your piggie, stroke it and talk to it lots. If you do this regularly it will soon get to know you and will calm down. As well as doing this you could also buy it a friend to keep it company. There must be some reason why your piggie isn't completely happy.


Can a guinea pig get fixed?

A guinea pig can be neutered like other small rodents (even mice can be fixed). Males become sexually mature at two months, and females mature at 2-3 months. Neutering a male may help with housetraining him because he may be less hormonally inclined to mark territory with feces and urine. It is important to note, however, that neutering does little to change aggressiveness of the male guinea pig. Neutering two bulls living together will not improve relations between them, unlike many larger animals.
