Meet my new guinea pig, Wimpy

My girlfriend bought me a guinea pig. I named her Wimpy, after the Popeye character... and she is wimpy. Hopefully Shaggy and Wimpy will bond well. Going to be introducing them to each other tonight!

@owenbrown006 Sweet! Pigs are cute. : )

i have one more question.... how long do i have to wait till i can play with her?

[ImBallsy]

@owenbrown006 I think it's about a week to ten days until you can pick them up more/play with them in earnest. They have to acclimate and get comfortable to you and their surroundings first. You can always try hand-feeding them certain treats/food or sit next to the cage and spend time with them in the meantime.

@owenbrown006 Maybe like a month or so. Then she gradually settled and got comfortable with us (at the time, me, GF, and another piggie). Then she got too fat and lazy to be jumpy, haha.

How long was she/he jumpy for?
