How should a guinea pig be picked up?
A guinea pig should be grasped firmly around the front shoulders with one hand and have its rear supported with
the other hand. This will prevent the guinea pig from struggling. Guinea pigs can injure themselves if allowed to
struggle while being picked up with one hand. Once picked up, the guinea pig should be cradled in the palm and
forearm and held close to the body. In this position, the animal will feel safe and secure. The handler must not
allow the animal to fall; guinea pigs are not agile and can injure themselves if allowed to fall on a hard surface.
