I am looking for advice to help my remaining 2 guinea pigs who have been left together after the passing of my other guinea pig.
The problem is that one of the guinea pigs is bullying the other one, and has done since day one, but because there were other guinea pigs that my bullied guinea pig was closer to it wasn’t as bad. However now because they are now left together, it seems worse. My guinea pig that died was the dominant one, but didn’t bully either one.
The guinea pig that bullies, is actually a bit of a loner, and didn’t like sleeping with the other piggies. But the other one who is being bullied loves piggie company.
What can I do? I feel so sorry for her.
 
Are you sure it's bullying and not just dominance behaviour? Is the bullied pig withdrawing and loosing weight?

I’m not sure, as the dominant piggie rumblestruts near her all the time, but this morning I found her chasing her round the cage trying to bite her, and she seemed scared. She’s not losing weight though.
