AlbertePedersen
Junior Guinea Pig
Hello everyone, my name is Alberte and I am from Denmark. I have two Guinea pigs, Alfred (9 months) and Anton (around 5 months).
First i had Alfred and took care of him the best that i could, and then i decided that he needed a friend, so i got Anton. Alfred is very loving, and loves cuddles, he comes up to me very time i open the cage. Anton is very different, he is very scared of me, and dont like me holding him, so i dont (should i? even tho i does not like it?). Anton is very scared of me even when i have food, he will take the food as fast as possible and run and hide.
My biggist problem is that they are not the best of friends, they have never been. I was told that if there was not blood drawn, and they were not fighting too much, that they would get along just fine. But they will not be in the same end of their cage. btw i have this cage Gnaverbur Lounge | zooplus.dk , but Alfred is scared of going up, so only Anton has a lot of space. It is around 110x58, on both floors.
Recently i had to seperate them, because their fighting became really bad (tho no blood), and now every time that i put them together, they will fight and be very aggressive. They will fight really bad (but no blood) but i get to scared that i seperate them. Should i leave them to it? or are they just not the right fit for each other, please help.
