Really quiet piggie
I've had my two guinea pigs for about 2 weeks now. Squeakers is constantly chattering, squeaking, purring, you name it. He also will romp around and play and munch his veggies.
Bugsy on the other hand, hides a LOT, dashes from one hidey to another, NEVER makes a sound unless he's scared, won't do anything if we're around but hide. I have not seen him "popcorn" or romp at all since I've had him. He doesn't act like he feels bad, just VERY nervous and scared. Is this normal? Should I do anything to help ease him? Is it just his personality? I just want to make sure he's as happy as his brother!!

Unless you think he might be sick, dont worry about it. Tilly is our outgoing, lound, brave piggy, while Sunny is very shy and hardly ever "Wheeks".
Some pigs are just more outgoing than others, and the dominant pig will usually be more outgoing than the subordinate one too... My pairs have balanced eath other out like that LOL.

Well, Squeakers, while smaller, is definately the dominate one!! He puts Bugsy in his place. In a nice way, though. They never fight!! Bugsy almost seems a little lazy. I have them out for floor time and Squeakers is so noisy while Bugsy is just sitting in a tube--that he slowly and quietly walked to!!

LOL! When you have them out, try keeping them together and not giving them a hide... They like to follow each other around, and Bugsy will be alot braver if he has Squeakers at his side!
Sunny and little Bugsy sound like they have pretty similar personalities! Sunny has never wanted to be a dominant pig- When we adopted Tilly, Sunny didnt even attempt to be dominant, even though she was 4 years old and Tilly was only 7 months! Thats why they bonded so quickly though.
