Maisy and Poppy
Adult Guinea Pig
I came down this morning to find Maisy and Poppy squeaking, heads raised, grumbling, following one another for a few seconds then biting thier bums! Then Maisy attacks and leaps on top of Poppy! Is this normal?
Ha, Ha! I think Poppy was in season a few months ago but I didn't really notice!you don't have to separate them, this happens when they're in heat, you could give poppy a break and take her out for lap time for a while if you like, but they'll be fine. It's very tempting to chase the piggy in season away when they're being wee swines, lol, but soon it will be poppy's time to be in heat and will get her paybacklol
You know a lot about piggies!haha, I THINK they go into season every 2-3 weeks and lasts 1-2 days where they storming about their cage rumble strutting and acting like little furry dominatrixes, lol
I'm sure that sows can reach sexual maturity at 8 weeks old and boars about 12 weeks old?How old do they start this? I think mine are about 12 weeks old.
