I hold my guinea pig correctly, and yet he scratches my wrist when I put him down. What should I do?

Have someone video you as you put the guinea pig down, and see if you can spot how to make him feel safer. The guinea pig may well be scrabbling because he feels unsafe. If there doesn't seem to be a problem, place a soft towel over his head, which should help him stay calm as you lower him. Also, ask a vet tech to check that his claws aren't too long.
