I know this may not be the exact right spot for this, but I have a question. My one guinea pig, Jenny (pronounced Ginny), has a bit of an attitude problem. I'm pretty sure she can see fine, and she just attacks her sister when they are out (sometimes in cage but not often) and snuggling with us. I've had to put my hand between them to stop her from biting her sister and got attacked instead. no blood drawn yet, almost. What do I do to help ease her to let her know she doesn't have to attack? Her sister is mellow and gentle and a big sweetheart and Jenny is too, but when she wants to be. HELP PLEASE!
 
Hmmm, I guess I would just keep them separate when getting them out, or get out one pig at a time. My twin girls sometimes have this problem. Luna will bite her twin, Fermi. I just keep them away from each other for a while to get Luna to calm down.
 
We had separated them in different cages for two months and she got depressed and stopped eating. So total separation is a no go. When they are out they don't want to be separated. If they are they wheek and wheek until we put them back together....or they struggle so much until they finally get together. I don't know if it's just her showing dominance or not. But thanks for that suggestion. I'll try something along those lines without really separating. (If that makes sense. LOL)
