Guineaboarpig
Junior Guinea Pig
I am the proud owner of a trio of guinea pigs. All brothers got them today. I understand there is a possibility that one boar might need to come out of the relationship and a new friend found for him if the relationship breaks down adn a hierarchy is formed.
I have large cage 3 home each with double exit 3 water bottle. Hay scattered around cage with carrot including the bedding they traveled home in
I couldn’t leave 1 boar behind and leave a pair splitting a family. If it comes to needing to house separately then will be a c and c o BC ground level and second on table
Is there a particular age to be concern about?They were born 2/9. They already feel a good healthy weight. I was going to weigh on putting in cage but the battery is dead so ordered new scales off Amazon.
I am aware of dominance stages in males. In hidey all 3 were snuggled together in corner. Now on cage 2 are in one hidey and the other is in another. Very quiet. I’m nervous if they will start to drink from the water. I will prepare cucumber for veggie time so they get water
They all snuggle together and have lived together since birth. They left their mother at 3 weeks. I would like to post pictures of my pigs in the photo forum if that is ok. They are short hair but the hair is quite thicker on one I’m curious to identify breed.
They are definitely boys as they had the obvious bulge where the penis is housed(can I say that on here if not sorry).
I will be feeding them their veggies and tempting them with treats, so they can be used to me.
I would like to enjoy being part of the community here so any tips on that is welcome.
As I was about to post that one of the pigs chirped like a bird for a good minute. Is this something to be worry about it was quite alarming I wondered what on earth for a minute. Are they ok? He has stopped now
