Give them some time. What I did was slowly get them to get used to you. Feed them at certain time. Try and offer food. Eventually they will come and eat off your hand. Mine initially always hide under newspapers.

Are we suppose to feed them at certain time? I just put a bowl of pellets and some veggies in the cage.

I just put like a bowl of pellets and lotsa veggies to them in the morning until 2nd day. Is that wrong? I also heard from the seller that hay is not good for gps?

Yes. Give them food at regular interval. Unlike hamsters, GP doesnt ration their food. If you give them few they will finish it. If you give them a lot pun they will finish it at that very moment. SO better separate into few sessions.

Thanks emino. Will start that. Then the bigger gp seems to be bullying the smaller gp. how to solve things like that ar?

they will do that until reach to agreement who is the dominant. A pair? or same sex?

I only left with my one and only Ms Toffy - going strong at 6 years old.  flex.gif  Next year March will be 7 years old.

Hows everyone pigs going?

Same sex - Female. I think now they already know who is dominant, the fatter one. =_= Btw, if the fat one is in the box, the other one is not allowed to go in? They don't share house?
