How do I get my guinea pigs to the trust me?
My boyfriend and I adopted two females a few days ago who are about three months old. We let them be for the first day to get used to their new habitat, and we've been taking them out for playtime and holding each day. We feed them vegetables and treats by hand. They seem to be warming up, but they're still very nervous and skittish, especially the one. Their habitat is in our bedroom and like if one of us gets out of bed, they'll bolt into the hidey hole. Neither of us have ever owned guinea pigs before and we've been doing a ton of research, but I'm just not sure if there's anything else that I should be doing.
Get them armour to make them feel safe

Feeding by hand is the best. If they are coming to you and eat near your hand- great job. Put them on a shelf- they dont like from top aproach.
I say just keep on doing what you're doing now and they should definitely warm up to you in a month at the longest
