I rescued two male guinea pigs about 3 months ago. I was told they are both between 1-2 years old. I don't know if they are brothers. GP1 is large and laid back and the boss. GP2 is a runt and much faster and cheeky. They so far have got on great just a little bit of rumbling and chasing every now and then. Yesterday GP1 nipped GP2 on the bum sending him jumping into the air. I ran over and picked up GP2 to check he was okay, no marks that I could see. He let me pick him up (first time he hasn't objected) and did what I could only discribe as 'crying' in my arms for a few mins. When I put him back in he was very jumpy and scared. There has been no more bitting but a lot of rumbling and chasing. I have removed the igloos.
Any advice?
Is it no blood no problem?
I'm terrified I'll come down in the morning to a dead guinea.
They are in a 2 by 4 c and c.
