I recently commented how sweet Goody Two Shoes is getting. She nuzzles right up to me when I place her on my lap. She doesn't run away when I reach in her cage to pick her up. I'm sure it's all a matter of trust. I'm always very careful not to do anything that will cause my guinea pigs to second guess my affection for them. It takes time and consistency, but they eventually get the idea.

I mentioned to my husband that Goody is so much more social now. He said she still runs away from him. Right at that moment, he sort of glanced at her cage and she froze in her tracks. He took one step in her direction and she was in her pigloo.....

We laughed about it. She knows which hands offer the snacks around here.....
