So i didn't really know what to title this thread, however i am having a bit of a weird problem with my two bonded boars.
One of the guinea pigs can Echo is blind and the other called Darwin is a skinny pig so is completely bald. The blind one (Echo) is trying to groom the skinny pig Darwin but as he cant see he is nicking Darwins skin and leaving him with small nicks all over his body.

They are not fighting or having any bonding troubles but has anyone had this problem before and if so anyone know a way to fix it or if it will just be ok the way it is.

Its a bit of a weird issue so I'm not too sure what to do :D
 
Oh, that’s a bit of a weird one. I can’t help there, just hope they are ok and you can resolve it. If they are happy perhaps you don’t need to worry as long as it dosen’t become excessive. I hope you can resolve the problem x

I hope someone has some ideas.....
 
How long have they been together? Is he drawing blood or just little scratches? I have a skinny pig and a furry one together, they are both females and not blind Lol, so really no help there! They cuddle together all the time but no grooming from either one.

They have been together now for around 5 months. The are fine together and will occasional sleep together. There is scabbing but not full on blood drawn. I just have no idea what to do. I have a young female in the room as well but this has been going on well before i got her so i guess she is not the problem.
