Finally got gizmo a girlfriend.She is gorgeous not given her a name yet i'll post some pics soon.Whats the best way to introduce them i've got her in a sepate cage for quantine at the min. she is only a baby about 5 - 6 weeks. Any ideas thanks?
 
Guineas are social animals and you very rarely get one that doesn't like being with other guineas, sometimes you get bullying, which you will have to make sure that there is none going on. Gizmo and his girlfriend should want to meet each other and should get along fine. Providing you introduce them on neutral territory and once they have been out with each other for a couple of hours or that your happy that they are not challenging each other, showing any aggressive/nasty behaviour or showing threatening behaviour then you can put them in the MALE'S hutch together. It will take them a little bit of time to work out dominance, however, providing you follow these two steps then they should be fine. Keep an eye that there is no bullying signs such as losing weight, resting in open parts of the cage, generally not wanting to be near their hutch mate etc. Make sure the hutch is big enough for two guineas (so one can escape from the other), that there are a couple places to hide, a couple of food bowls (one at each end of the hutch), a couple of bottles etc. You may want to wait until you guinea is a little older. Good luck. O0
 
resting in open parts of the cage

gizmo does this already i put his hay in one end and thats were he rests he has a house etc but only goes in thre if theres a sudden movement or noise.is this not normal?
 
If he darts when he thinks there is danger it is perfectly normal. ;)
 
oh wow Gizmo has a girlfriend :)

Whenever I walk in the room both my pigs dart here and there ;D its funny lol
 
i'm amazed at how tame he is.since i got him neutered because i had to give him medicine daily an check him daily it really gave me more confidence with handling him.its more noticeable now i've the baby one and she is so skittish he really is a fantastic pig love him so much and all his crazy habits! :)
