My guinea pig (teddy) is being excessively angry, and its very out of character for him.
We have had him since January, and he is around 15 months. A few weeks ago I got another 2 baby girls. We had been keeping them separate and it's never lead to issues until now.
Aroung 4 hours ago I let the girls have some floor times, and then the boys (first time we had done this, normally the boys go first and theres never been an issue, we wont be doing this again).
After around 10 minutes teddy started high pitched wheeking, I assumed this was a mating call or something because he could smell the girls had been there. It then lead to teddy being aggressive to his brother, teeth chattering, attempting to climb onto and bite him.
After a while I took them out and held them for a while, then put them back into their cage. Teddy wouldnt calm down and kept running around and continues to wheek really high pitched. After a while we took him out again and put him into a clean play pen. This continued for a while
Now, every 15-20 minutes teddy stops what hes doing and starts high pitched wheeking loudly again. There is still a little teeth chattering and rumbling but not as bad as it was 3 hours ago, but its still completely unlike him.
Has anyone got any advice on how I can calm him down, and try to get him back to his usual self?
