A wiggling guinea pig can easily injure itself. Always have one hand underneath them when you pick them up, and never, ever hold them so that their hind legs are dangling. Children should be taught how to properly hold a guinea pig; young children should only hold guinea pigs in their laps while seated (and with an adult nearby). Most people hold their guinea pigs against the chest, with one hand underneath the rump. A fall can be fatal to a guinea pig!
Returning a guinea pig to her cage requires care. Handle your guinea pig firmly with both hands.

You can leave your new guinea pig alone for the first day so that he can become used to the new sounds and smells. Pick up and cuddle your new piggy often so he can get to know you They need to learn to trust you and develop a bond.
