New Born Pup
I have two guinea pigs (3 years and 20 months). The younger one has started to bully the older one to the point of not letting him rest or eat. He did that months ago when he was hormonal but I had though this has passed as he's well past puberty.
He would kick him out of every hidey just because (he doesn't go in afterwards), keeps humping him and sometimes he actually kicks him with his back legs LOL. The older one is very submissive and just wheeks and doesn't fight back, just tries to run away. I separated them and the bully is trying to get to the other one, I had to cover the bars as he was constantly chewing them, he spends half time resting and other time trashing the cage, chewing bowls, liner. But the bullied one seems to prefer it this way and seems to be enjoying being separated, not interested in the other pig at all.
They've always had two waters bottles, two bowls and multiple hideys with two holes.
Any advice please? It's not a long term solution to have them live separately because I can't provide enough splace for both, now they live in a separated 2 x 5 cage.
