∙ 12y agoGuinea Pigs mainly jump because they are happy, or excited. If you have a boy and a girl in the same cage, the male may jump frantically, and wag his butt when he wants to mate the female..
If you have any more questions, feel free to contact me!

∙ 14y agoDon't be too worried or stressed about this, it's pretty normal. Make sure you are holding your guinea pig correctly and safely when returning it back to it's cage.

Why does your guinea pig squeaks when you pet and hold?
There can be many reasons, but it might be that you are petting it too hard. Try to stroke it more gently. It could also mean that it likes when it is pet. There is an app that gives samples of guinea pig "eeps" in different moods.
Female guinea pig you bought one male and one female rabbit to be its friend why doesnt the female rabbit like the female guinea pig?
Actually rabbits an guinea pigs are fine together. But maybe the female guinea pig is felling lonely being the only kind in the cage. Or maybe its because the rabbit just doesn't like the guinea pig. If it's possible you can try getting another female guinea pig or separating the the guinea pig and rabbits.
How do you help your guinea pig become less timid?
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.

Why would your guinea pig run away every time you touch her?
Guinea pigs are known to be very shy, so you have to prove to the guinea pig that you are gentle by simply approaching your guinea pig slowly and calmly and then eventually pet or pick him/her up.

You can simply be dealing with a guinea pig that is nervous, or you are dealing with something that is very common and normal for your guinea pig.

Rabbits/Bunnies do NOT make good cage mates for Guinea Pigs. The Guinea Pig needs another of its own kind to thrive. Even if it does have another Guinea Pig partner, the Rabbit/Bunny may try to kill, hurt, or eat them. I hope this answers your question!
