Last week we adopted two unwanted guinea pigs. Two year old boars, one bigger than the other. cute wee chaps.
We're experienced small/medium pet owners but never had guineas before so its been a learning curve! They're in a rabbit cage inside with two houses (they were fighting over the one) fed in seperate piles, space to tootle and plenty hay/food.
The wee gits won't stop fighting! big one humping wee one which I can understand is nor mal behaviour. but the scuffles, the teeth chattering, the angry squeaks-tonight its been constant.
I've given up and seperated them in the cage using rabbits' hutch door! just to calm them down!
Do we need to neuter one/both? I do expect some tussles/posturing for dominance/wee scraps occasionally but this seems excessive.
They do get out and are cleaned but we haven't handled them much yet as we wanted them to settle.
They're chilled now, munching calmly. Has anyone any advice on pig behaviour please?
