Answering Your Questions & My IDEA!

Hey everyone. I've been asked a few guinea pig questions recently and thought I should answer them on here. (: Well here I go...

1) How do I get my guinea pig to let me catch her? How do I get my guinea pig to stop squirming when I handle her?

Well, this is typical of all guinea pigs. Just put yourself in their position: This huge living thing is trying to pick me up and carry me high up off the ground. You'd be pretty scared too, huh? Well, just consider that. My pigs might seem extremely tame, but none of them are fond of being taken out of their cage, not one of them. I doubt there is a pig that likes it. But there are some pigs that just run away from you. Thats just a matter of taming them (see my taming your cavy video for help) and it may take awhile for some pigs. Statistics show that American bred cavies are more timid than other breeds. Abysinnian guinea pigs are said to be the most tame since they were the first ever breed of cavy so taming also depends on your pig's breed. No pig is ever going to be perfectly tame. Just about every pig is going to squirm when you handle them, just stroke them for comfort. (: Hope this helps.

Okay, so I had this idea...
Considering that YouTube is a huge community, it can do a lot of good.
My idea was of making an internet organization against pet stores and why not people shouldn't make impulse buys. Considering the movie G-Force is coming out. I'm not so excited for this movie. Why? It's going to:
-Cause impulse buys. Kids & adults are going to see the movie and want a guinea pig. The same thing happened with the movie 101 Dalmations and many other movies, causing impulse buys on whatever animal was the main character(s). Then the kids will get bored of the guinea pig and it will most likely be dumped at a pet store or let go.
-It gives a whole different definition to guinea pigs. The movie shows guinea pigs being little "heroes" by swimming (which guinea pigs can NOT do & if you put them in water they'll just go into toxic shock) and thinking on a human mentality level.
-It features pet stores, guinea pigs in tanks (with other animals i.e. hamsters, mice), and running wheels. It also shows guinea pigs being dressed and treated like tea cup chihauhauas.
So, I think my idea would possibly help prevent impulse buys. Who's with me? (:

We could make it like a club or something... maybe come up with a name ;)

Just tell me what you think! Oh! And if you'd like to help prevent impulse buys due to G-Force, you can go to the link below and print out this poster to pass out to people leaving the G-Force movie. Just make sure to ask the theater first. Thats what I'll be doing on opening night at my local theater, my friend's dad is the manager and said we could both pass them out :) The link is:
