Yeah they don't like being carried which makes sense since they're prey.

I spend most of my time with them at night. When I get home from school I hang out with them for a while before working on my homework. Plus I work in my room where they live so they're exposed to me a lot.

Do you have them up whilst you lay on your bed? or in a chair?

The latter can get Stribe to nibble at me as well, since thats not a flat surface shes on at that point.

Stribes biting issues was probably due to something vet related.

Mom was trimming her nails, whilst sitting on my bed. Stribe decided to jump down on the floor

Now i have had haphazard drops before (twice with Pjuske, first time it was dark, we both thought we were closer to the cage than we were and she took a 1,5 meter fall. Aside from the shock (well duh) the only injury she had was a small cut on one of her upper lips. Stribe had a similar incident when she was younger, with the same injury. Im still very happy nothing happened in any of those cases), but this time we werent that lucky.

Upper 2 front teeth got knocked out (i only noticed the day after). Not a massive worry (Rodents teeth grow their entire life) but i was keeping a close eye on her weight for the following week or 2. Guinea pigs has a second set of teeth further in, so she could still eat. Had to go to the vet to get the lower teeth trimmed down as they where too long. Ever since, she has been a bit of a biter. But only when scared or angry.
