I am sorry to say it, but one of my little fuzzy pants guinea pigs is a bully and a thief. I have been working pretty hard to tame my little piggies by hand feeding them treats, and it has been working pretty good with Coco and Henry. Milton on the other hand is a different story completely. Not only does he refuse to take a treat directly from me, he steals the treats from the others every time. He charges them like a tiny little ball of evil. With that face it’s hard to call him evil really, but he is being mean to Henry and Coco. I am beginning to wonder if I will ever be able to tame him. At least he is hilarious to watch during floor time. He is definitely the athlete of the group, running circles at a hundred miles an hour, and hopping like a crazed piece of popcorn. My only hope is that these little piggies are extremely food driven and I have a Costco size bag of carrots.
