New Born Pup
Hello!
I recently got a baby guinea about, about 2 months old. My other guinea pig, who is around 3, seems to be scared of the baby after a day of being together. The 3 year old jumped when the younger one approached him just now. He also tends to make a purring noise when walking near him. I have been keeping an eye on my piggies and am able to separate them if needed, but I've seen no displays of aggression toward one another.
Why would my older guinea pig be scared of the younger one? I thought it would've been the other way around. Is there anything I should be doing?
