Is he scared or wanting to eat them??
So my guinea pigs which have stayed with my mum for a couple years have returned to me and before this video Rio had full on shoved his face through the cage so he got dragged back and told off as it's a massive no no.
So I took this video of him to get your opinions.
What do you think? Scared? Anxious? Hopefully doesn't want to eat them.....

Looks more curious than anything. They do have a strong prey drive though.

I agree, he's interested and to be honest I wouldn't have the guinea pigs anywhere he could get to them when you're not there. It is a dog's natural instinct to chase small furries. Even if nothing happens it could still be very scary for the pigs.

I would move the guinea.pigs to a high not easy to get to shelf
