Hi CJ,
It usually takes much longer than 2 days for guinea pigs to feel comfortable
and unafraid in their new home. I would definitely continue with the
cuddling, that's how they learn that they can trust you. Ginger was probably calling
for her sister when you were holding her. My Sweetie does that all the time,
Poly couldn't care less where Sweetie is. Please don't put them on the
coffeetable anymore or anything that's high up. If they fall they can injure
themselves very bad, and more likely, the incisors break off. You never know what
a fearful animal will do. Can you give them some floortime in a piggy safe
setting? Guinea pigs do hide by nature. I have lots of hiding places for them
in my setting. They run from one to the next with food and water breaks
inbetween. I'd say keep on cuddling!
best wishes,
Marion
