Senior Guinea Pig
Here i am again!
I'll be known as the person with the "problem pigs" lol
Since making the W's & H's hutches 10ft long Huxley pig has started to bully poor Hamish. Tuesday night they went into their new home and Huxley was chattering his teeth but i thought nothing of it, yesterday all seemed fine, the pair of 'them were happily sharing dandy leaves and both seemed happy.
Today i gave them their bowl of veg (all my piggies have shared a veg bowl with no probs) and wondered why Hamish wasn't about. When he did come out of his bed to eat he was chased away by Huxley, he retreated into one of the pigloos but Huxley carried on nudging his head into it after him.
I took Hamish out, prepared another bowl of veg and put it near to the bed he was in and shoved the other veg bowl to the other end of the hutch for Huxley.
All was well until Huxley decided to go to the other bowl, Hamish took flight and ran into the pigloo and that's where he stayed.
There's no fighting, Hamish is a lover not a fighter and i know it's probably Huxley reinstating his position but i don't want him intimidating Hamish into not eating.
Do you think, given time, they will sort it out between themselves and Hamish will be ok?
After all my OH has done to the hutches it would be a great shame to separate them
