| Question about Pets:Why is my guinea pig biting, can I make her stop? |
Firstly you need to handle her for app 10 minutes a day each day along with 1 hour of floor room, at the least. What size is your cage, it should be at least 7.5sq ft. The 2 main things for biting include:
1. Mites
2. Fear
It would not hurt to take your pigger to the vet for a general examination, if she has mites then she needs the appropriate treatment. You can treat her from home but if you accidently overdose she could die.
Guinea pigs are social animals by nature, they should be housed in groups of 2 or more, you will find that Angel will be more active and generally happy. As for your friends guinea pigs coming over, they are not there 24/7 as a companion would be so I do not think she really is getting much socializing, besides guinea pigs are not good travellers.
So, handle, floor time, expand cage, go to the vet, get her a companion, and see what happens from there.
Addition:
Contrary to the beliefs of another post, guinea pigs actually have very good eye sight, they can even see in colour. The thing that limits them is because their eyes are on the side of their face, so like horses, they have, I suppose "blind spots."
