We recently made the decision to separate our guinea pigs.
It was a very difficult decision as they’d been together since birth and were 14 months old when they started getting very aggressive.
They had a little scrap, we separated them overnight and reintroduced them the next day. Six weeks after the reintroduction, they still weren’t getting on, there were too many scratches and they wouldn’t stop chasing each other and were constantly preparing to fight. After one sustained a decently sized cut on his nose, after countless smaller cuts, and they still showed no sign of getting on, we decided to separate them.
Now they miss each other like crazy, they keep chewing on the bars and it’s the most heartbreakig thing.
I hope to try to reintroduce them again at christmas but any tips to help them to be less stressed out by the separation?
