Junior Guinea Pig
Hi there guys. My piggies are driving me crazy this morning.
1 boar is 18mo and the other is 6mo old.
When we introduced them several times after quarantining the baby, they were fine so they moved in together, then we caught them fighting so separated them again (it involved blood).
Since then their hutches are next to each other at a right angle so they can see each other etc. Brought them inside earlier this week because of wind/weather and they're next to each other much closer (can rub noses)...
They can't keep away from each other and the younger guy keeps popcorning. The older is dominant (with our previous pigs) but the little one much smaller still tries to stand up to him.
Big boar keeps bum rumbling naturally. When we usually put them in the split they're like this for 5 mins then don't care but atm it's almost constant and we've never seen the little one popcorn so much!
Should I try reintroduce them or assume they'll probably hurt each other? Everytime I introduce pigs I always have a brush and gloves handy to separate their fight!
