When I first put mine outside in the run they just stayed in their pigloo the entire time, they are a bit more adventurous now. I find food is the key they'll do anything for a bit of nosh!
Maybe!! Benson gave me the slip this morning and I found him in the hall looking at the piggies and the piggies looking back at him. I think he would like piggies.
What is the disease rabbits can give them?
Our girls are completely agrophobic! When we had to move their indoor cage into the conservatory while the kitchen was being decorated they wouldn't come out of the bedroom, even for food :shock:, but as soo as their cage was in the usual place they came out again.
As for outdoors....last year when we put them in the outside hutch they stayed in the bedroom. This year they actually venture out to the living area sometimes. But they hate being in an open run and stay hidden, so we don't bother with that any more (and they do not do 'pick your own' on the grass - they prefer waitress service :lol:
I have noticed this already - a couple of wee starvos the pair of them. Even Hazel will overcome her intense fear of me if there's food on the go!
I had to lift her at the vets for the vet to check her teeth. I held her butt and gently tipped her back a bit to show her little face. Well she squeeeeeeled but her little face was sooo cute when she was doing it. Would have enjoyed it only I knew she was terrified. It was her wee lips and teeth showing so cute but wouldn't want to do that to her again, although she was cute. Very very cute.
adorable! Apparently though piggies are only meant to eat when they're hungry, not little gobblers like rabbits. Not sure I believe that!
:lol: mine are so cute when they chew the bars, they get little lips (they only do it at feeding time)
I didnt know they could pass anything on to piggies!? :shock:
My buns love playing with the guinea pigs, although they dont really play along! They plonk themselves infront of the rabbits and chatter at them "lick me, lick me NOW!" or they squeal qith annoyance when they think one of the buns is going to steal their veggies!!! :lol: Funny little things!
Rabbits can be carriers of a bacteria called Bordetella which does not cause any illness in the rabbit but causes pneumonia in guinea pigs. Although not all rabbits carry this bacteria, most do and therefore should you wish to keep your guinea pig and save yourself money do not house them together.
