Junior Guinea Pig
so I'm back on here yet again searching for advice as we are experiencing something rather strange...just when I thought I experienced all pigs behaviours good and bad possible something ... 'new' happened.
We have two sows living together in a huge cage (2.5x5 grids) and recently (few weeks) we noticed random moments where one of the sows (Pixie) starts chattering her teeth really loudly at Biscuit,
Which sometimes was followed by her chasing Biscuit and Biscuit having a moan and then they would settle. I associated it with feeding time, Pixie appeared to have been extremely ( even forna Guinea pig) impatient when waiting for food...so I thought that's why she snaps and Biscuit.
However, yesterday I heard noise and walked into the pet room and pixie must have chased Biscuit as she was at the side of the cage also chattering her teeth and they both had heir fur raised which was a bit surprising. That persisted for at least a minute and they both were doing this thing when they stomp from side to
Side, clearly angry/frustrated... and then they settled.
I then found two, rather thick chunk bits of Biscuits fur on the floor... so obviously when I heard the bang that was Biscuit hitting the cage when pixie chased her.
Today it happened again after food time, they both are ok and it if blue when food was pretty much gone chattering started again. They run of opposite directions and settled. Then Biscuit came closer to pixie to get some hay and she started chattering again... now they had they pellets together and are fine...
Totally confused. Has anyone experienced anything remotely similar ? Nothing has in their circumstances...or food or anything ... it's really odd.
Any suggestions welcome x
I did wonder if pixie perhaps has ovarian cysts but I checked her and her nipples look normal and there is no abdominal
Swelling ...
