I just got a guinea pig and she keeps hiding from me and not eating. I'm scared she'd get sick, is this normal and what can I do?
I’ve had many guinea pigs with my children. We always bought two from the same litter or pet store…they tend to comfort each other. See if you can buy a compatible little buddy for her. Guinea pigs are frightened and need to get used to being touched by people and held…it takes awhile but you need to get this little one used to touch and your hand inside the cage. She may try to bite but it doesn’t hurt and it’s only her trying to protect herself from something new…it will stop.Be sure she has good quality food with extras in it. Give him a strawberry…they love them and need vitamin C. Give small pieces of fruit and keep the cage bottom clean with alfalfa. Plenty of clean waster. I cleaned their cage once a week as my kids didn’t do it. Guinea pigs like to get out an run around the house. They run fast and jump and twirl…fun to watch but keep in a secure area so he doesn’t hide and know you might have a little dry mess to clean up but not much. They need their excercise. They also like those guinea pig plastic balls that you put them in and they can travel all over…but watch out for stairs. Don’t keep them in long as they do get warm and there isn’t a lot of ventilation.Make a little cardboard box for her to hide and sleep in…they chew the cardboard but it’s okay for them. Pet stores have woven straw hideaways that they like to feel secure in.One more thing…check their teeth if not eating…sometimes the upper teeth grow with the lower teeth on the outside instead of the upper teeth in the front..,,this makes it impossible for them to pick up food and eat it…they will starve to death if not noticed.Just pay attention…most never get over their fear completely but do let you hold them wrapped in a cloth or towel to begin with. Be patient and don’t scare him with loud noises. He should warm up to you in awhile and enjoy sitting on your lap in a towel or blanket to feel secure all over.

How do I tell my gf she eats like a pig?
You don't. It is not your place to change her. If you don't like someone who eats like a pig find an anorexic. She won't eat at all.

Ate like a pig today!? im scared!?
You'll be fine. It was just one day of overeating. Start over tomorrow and forget about how much you ate. And if you screw up tomorrow, just start over at the next meal. Think of it this way: If you were driving, and your tire popped, would you pull over and pop the rest of the tires? No, you wouldn't! You'd repair the tire and keep driving! Same with how you eat.
Who gets disgusted by looking at fat people eat like pigs?
HAHA your crazy ! !
Why do Muslims hate pigs? Aren't they God's creatures' as well? We as Christians love all animals?
Many great answers are already written.As a Muslim we would feed God's creature--pigs included. In hypothetical situation our scholars have said:if we have a sheep and a pig/dog, but we don't have enough water for both of them, then we shall slaughter the sheep and give the water to the pig/dog, because the sheep has value in being slaughtered, we can eat its meat, but we can't eat the pig/dog's meat.Prophet Muhammad valued giving water to any animal and despised bothering any creature.Other than that, I don't think you like the insects which make noise or those that can sting or frighten you, or that you eat every animal? I think this is the true question that we should all seek to find its answer. If you had an answer kindly come and share it with us.I have personally seen many Christians which don't eat pork, or don't even use toothpaste that have any pork derivate. Leviticus 11:7-8 And the pig, because it parts the hoof and is cloven-footed but does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. You shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.Isaiah 66:17“Those who sanctify and purify themselves to go into the gardens, following one in the midst, eating pig's flesh and the abomination and mice, shall come to an end together, declares the Lord.You can find more information here: https://www.openbible.info/topic...Or Google for 'pork consumption in christianity' which would bring different opinions on the subject.

Do you feel embarrassed while eating fast food around other people?
I avoid eating in public, for the most part. I don’t feel embarrassed, but I’m afraid of people attacking me in public, and it may be more food related than I’d considered. Last time I was accosted, I was going into the grocery, maybe that was the trigger, seeing an overweight person go into a place that sells food.People seem to think they have some holy mission to attack me because of my size, and have done since my thyroid ‘conked out’ when I was 9 (an endocrinologist’s term, when told of the incident when I was 26), causing me to gain about half my starting body weight (30 - 40 pounds) in about 4 weeks. Took 12 years for anyone to imagine it might be something other than ‘eating like a pig’ (my family’s, and practically the whole human race’s idea about why I must be overweight). Now that my thyroid cancer has been ‘taken care of’ (2 operations, radioactive iodine, such a comedy of errors), I’m on about 5 times as much thyroid meds as most are, and it’s not a magic pill, making me magically thin. But I’m through with eating nothing for 5 1/2 weeks at a stretch because I’m terrified of people calling me names. I’m still terrified, it’s just that losing 34 pounds didn’t make them stop, no amount of weight loss appears to be enough (I was told at one point that getting down to 56 pounds would make me ‘acceptable’ - but that probably wouldn’t have been the case, even if I could have gotten that low), I just don’t want to be actively killing myself for a goal I’ll never reach.
