So, Benny and Jerry are my two brother Guinea Pigs that I adopted in February of 2017. They had a Midwest style cage and lived together peacefully without fighting and are now 2 years old. A little over a month ago, I adopted a new male Guinea Pig who needed a home named Nigel. He is 9 months old. I upgraded to a 2 by 6 cc cage with an upstairs. Once the pigs got introduced, Jerry and my newer pig Nigel didn’t get along and both kept trying to be dominant. I let them have playtime with each other for about a week, but they just weren’t liking each other. So, I put Nigel upstairs in the new cage, blocked it off and put Benny and Jerry together downstairs. They’ve been in the cage for a few weeks now and they’ve been pretty good, except I’ve noticed that Jerry has been trying to chase and mount occasionally Benny which he’s never done before. About 2 days ago, I noticed a little mark on Jerry’s nose. This morning, I was saying hi to the pigs and I noticed both Benny and Jerry have a little black mark near the corner of their mouths. My other Pig Nigel looks perfectly healthy. Could Benny and Jerry have been fighting and they are scabs or could it be something more? Thanks so much! (Jerry is the white and tan one and Benny is the brindle and white one)
