Guinea pigs won't run??? ❔❔?
So I have two guinea pigs and have had them for 1.5 years. Bu still every time I put them on th ground they won't move. They just freeze. They love in a really small cage and my parents won't let me get a bigger one (how can I convince them??) so floor time is really important. I always see the guinea pigs in the videos running around and stuff but mine won't move and inch. They don't even try to hide anywhere. Also, If I hold out food they will only walk a couple steps to get it???

Freezing
Guinea pigs will often stand very still for a short time if they are afraid or they hear a sudden sound that they are unfamiliar with. Its their way of making themselves seem invisible and letting others know in the group, that there's something to worry about. Often a freeze position is accompanied by a very short vibrating sound, which also indicates they are afraid. You may hear and see this behaviour when the telephone rings or someone knocks on the door.
