GP Midlife Crisis?

[FernieB]

My boys are now 3.5 years old and we have successfully managed the terrible teens and a reintroduction after a forced separation due to injury. They bicker but happily tolerate each other.

Over the last 2 weeks we have had more serious arguing and chasing. They are acting like teens again. Could this be a GP midlife crisis?

When I had GP1/GP2 then GP1/GP3 they seemed worse around Guy Fawkes (I thought it was all the noise rather than time of year/time of life) and in Spring time (possibly their hormones)
Has anything happened in the house?
Any of your neighbours got females guineas that they might have caught a scent of?

Have they been on holiday ? (Ours used to take a while to settle back into their routine? )

When GP1 was 'middle aged' he went all sleek and rat faced but though him and GP3 didn;t fight, he'd shove him out the way (no mean feat considering GP3 size)

You might need to do the old nasty trick of wash the blighters and move everything round in their house. Then tell them to "pick the bones out of that"

They've not been on holiday 70 - maybe that's their gripe . I think I will bath them although it's not long since their last dunking.

Not sure what's got into them really. I tried to drag their run to fresh grass yesterday and usually they trot along with the run as I move it but instead they stood shouting at each other.

Smooth is looking a bit 'ratty' now and Scruffy is a bit scruffier - I have put this down to age as appetite and poop looks normal. No one else has GPs near us and I can't think that anything has changed - they did get Waitrose kale last week though.

I bought mine Waitrose kale yesterday.
DD brought the 3 pigs up to my bed for a morning cuddle. GP5 kept sniping at GP3. He gives her a heads up (because she goes under his belly) then she snaps at him little bugger

Must be the kale, I cannot blame my tiny baby girl piggy.(She who scratched me when I met her )
Is it a kale/coriander hybrid?

Are they picking up on Currant Bun and his ' mad moulting moods?'

They might think "Aye Aye, something remiss"

[FernieB]

GP5 sounds like she knows how to keep a boy keen . I think Waitrose kale is too naice for GPs.

Hope they aren't picking up on Current Bun - he looks a right scruffy mess and won't let me brush him.

Currant Bun might be keeping the boars awake with his 3am narkiness though.
Guineas work very hard at , well, being guineas, and have to be awake at dawn and dusk. So they don't appreciate some rabbity one waking them up complaining about going a bit Bruce Willis
