Is it an instinctual behavior for a guinea pig to run away from you?

Guinea pigs, being prey animals, often exhibit inherent tendencies to avoid potential predators. As such, it is not uncommon for them to instinctively display behaviors like fleeing when they sense a potential threat. While this behavior is generally instinctual, the level of reactivity or the tendency to flee can be influenced by various factors such as individual personalities, past experiences, and the perceived level of safety within their environment.
