Well would you want a leash on if you weren't used to one? Dogs are differnet. They are used to it, but guinea pigs aren't. Don't worry, your baby will one day get used to the leash.

OMG!

Neither did my ferret. I tried taking him outside for walks, but the leash annoyed him; so I carried him around the block.

What would you do if someone tried to put a leash on you?Would you struggle?

well normally small pets dont like to be leashed. i mean any of my friends' rabbits are leashed and they try to shake it off. or you could just get your guinea used to it. i let my small pets around in the house and keep an eye on them. sometimes i take my hamsters out in the yard and let them run around. guinea pigs are pretty fast, but if you could manage to catch them when in danger, its ok. but leashes arent really comfortable in most pets.

before i knew leashes were bad i put mine in a harness thing and it just slipped right out. they are bad for guinea pigs

Guinea pig leashes and exercise balls are dangerous.

The anatomy of a guinea pig is the reason that leashes and exercise balls are bad for your pigs. Unlike ferrets and a few other animals, guinea pigs' backs are not intended to bend back even the slightest bit. When on a leash, the guinea pig runs and takes up all the slack of your leash which means it gets jerked backward, bending his back the wrong way. This can cause their little spines to snap or be seriously injured.
