I have had two make guinea pigs (Bear and Conker) for over 2 years and they have never had any major issues. They have nipped at each others ears before but never drawn blood.
Earlier today they got into a bit of a scramble over a raspberry as they both wanted it, neither of them got hurt though. Afterwards, they seemed fine with each other and I put them back together and they even cuddled up next to each other for a second, but they were still a bit grump.
I left the room and about 30 mins later I checked the camera I have set up to watch them (I have had this camera for months). I noticed a patch of something on the blankets so I went to check on them and it was blood. They were on seperate ends of the cage and Conker had a cut on his lips and Bear had a cut on his foot in between his claws.
I have separated their cage(C and C cage) but they only have 2x2 space left each (they can’t acces the loft due to the partition and I had to remove the ramp.
I will rebuild their cage tomorrow so they have a 2x3 space each but I’m not sure how to proceed with re-bonding them, any suggestions?
