You could injure your guinea pig if you pick him up
improperly and he could even die if you drop him. Thus it is important that you
learn to pick up your guinea pig correctly. Ensure that your guinea pig is
comfortable with you before you try to pick him up. Sit close to his enclosure
and sing or talk to him softly. Drape your hand in the enclosure for
exploration and try hand feeding him. Once your guinea pig is comfortably, act
efficiently. Place one hand under his chest behind the front legs and as you lift
him use the other hand to scoop up the rear end. Pull your guinea pig close to
your chest to prevent him from wriggling away. Be prepared to place your guinea
pig on a safe surface rather than dropping him. Never pick him up by a leg or
the scruff of the neck. For more
