Teenage Guinea Pig
Hi,
We've had our pair of piggies since oct, they are now almost 6 months old. The pet shop had one sow, 4 months old , left behind when somebody insisted they didn't want the pair. So we bought her. We were advised to put her in the playpen by herself to get the smell of the other two, them take her out, put the other two in (while she sniffed out the cage , then put her back in work them. One sow is on heat so they're was a bit odd sniffing and argey bargey, but no more than would go on between the pair of sows. They seemed quite settled and were out in the pen about 2 hours. When we put them to bed in the cage they were peaceful at first but have had a few episodes of them suddenly confronting each other and running around each other in right circles. Then it goes quiet again. We don't have another cage so will have to leave them overnight. No teeth, nips or bites I don't think, so is it hopeful.? Every now and then the three of them start squeaking together like a flock of birds then it goes quiet again. Feeling quite nervous of anyone being upset.
