Guinea pig nips the other guinea pig

[Connor123]

So I have 2 female guinea pig, and we got them at different times ( they were a week apart ). After the second one came in, the older and larger one started to nip her and step on her. I think this has something to do with dominance. I felt the little nip once because she mistaken my hand for the other guinea pig and it doesn’t hurt. Can someone tell me if this is normal behavior?

I’m not a bonding expert but I highly recommend the forum bonding guides.
They can answer your questions until one of the experienced people come along.
It may well be dominance but much depends on how you introduced them.
