Question

How can I help my guinea pig feel safer?

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

Guinea pigs tend to live in colonies which in itself makes them feel safer as they will disperse when a predator attacks, confusing the predator and lessening his chance to catch one for food. So giving your guinea pig a guinea pig friend will make it feel safer. Avoiding loud noises and fast movements and providing a lot of hiding places ( like an upside down cardboard box with an opening ) will make it feel safer as well.
