Junior Guinea Pig
Over the past few weeks Fudge and Snickers have been having a few problems.
I got snickers when he was only about 12 weeks old to pair with Fudge who was approx 6 months at the time.
Pairing went really well and they have been getting on great until recently.
I think snickers is now trying to challenge the role as "top pig" and fudge isnt happy about it.
So there is alot of strutting and chattering, and occasionally they fly at eachother a little. No blood has been drawn at this stage.
I'm just wondering for some tips on how to deal with this and causes? I'm guessing its because of snickers age. However i do have 2 other boys in a cage beside them, which i have now blocked them from seeing as they keep chewing on the cage bars when they see each other.
I do not want to seperate the two of them, as the pairing of fudge and snickers was due to a previous seperation.
