Idea For A Sticky?

[Rach1]

Wasnt sure where to pop this or if it has already been done?
But, could someone with more knowledge possibly do a sticky which details the various stages of a guineas life I.e. When are a guineas teenage years, when are they classed as seniors?
What can be expected in these stages? Differences for sows and boars.... Etc etc.
I just think for very new piggy owners it would be useful especially as so many threads say things like 'when they boars hit their teenage years'.
It may also be useful for people who get rescue piggies at various stages of age.
Just a thought- please don't shout at me.

Ps... I know there's the biological section but I thought maybe a more detailed sticky would be useful.

I like this idea a lot, I had to guess two of my girls ages as they are rescues and I've no idea what to expect as they get older.

I have done this sticky for the wannabe/newbie/research section here: https://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/threads/biological-facts-and-guinea-pig-society.109062/

A more detailed sticky is difficult to do, as things are quite variable within the age groups. For example: Some boars hit the big hormones as early as three months, especially if it coincides with bonding, while some "quiet" pairs don't get into trouble until they are over a year old, by which time most boy couples are over the worst and stable. Some piggies are showing signs of aging with 4 years while others go on without any problems until double that age...

I have been planning to write a sticky specifically about the boar teenage months and what options there are after a fall-out, but if anybody with plenty of boar experience would like to do one, he/she is welcome to do so in cooperation with me to make sure that the sticky covers all pertinent points and slots in well with what we have already got and that the presentation is consistent with the rest of the threads.
I have already asked somebody very knowledgeable to write an old age sticky for us, but that member is currently unable to do so.
