Picking Up Pet Guinea Pigs

Video Transcript

"Hi! My name is Sarah and I am here at Extra Care Animal Hospital in Davey, Florida, today and on behalf of Expert Village.com, I am going to educate you a little bit about owning a guinea pig. When picking your guinea pig up, you always want to make sure that your guinea pig feels safe and secure. You should always put one hand on the front of your guinea pig and one hand under the rear end and hold them close to you. You never want to be walking around with your guinea pig up here as this makes them feel very insecure and making them more likely to squirm and therefore, have a fall. Always, always hold them close to you. You can even wrap them in a towel if you need to when you are carrying them around but you want to make them feel secure so that they will less likely to squirm.
