Hello!

I have 4 guineapigs and they are all seperated.

I used to have 5, one pair of sows lived together, the other sow bothered them so she had to be seperated. My two boars fight so they live apart.

I would like to introduce my two remaining sows, but they keep fighting. what should i do :-\

Introduce them on neutral territory. Sometimes a bath together can make them bond. Also using vick, a bit on their bum and nose can help.

What have you tried so far?
 
I would get the boys neutered, and pop one girl in with each of them :)
Then none of your piggies have to be lonely..
 
its money thats the problem, also the risk. Otherwise I would get them done
 
?

dont know about you, but I would rather risk a fairly common and standard op like neutering, rather than having lonely piggies..

I mean if the girls didnt get on well, and the boys didnt get on well, seems like a good solution... *shrugs*
 
I don't have £100 or a way of making it =( I'm only in my teens and no job.

Kelly's suggestions are a good start. You could also have them in a cage side by side but divided so they get used to one another for a couple of weeks and have them out for laptime together etc... Some pigs will bond instantly whilst others take time but you will get there with them O0
 
thankyou guys =] I will probably get the boars done if it doesnt work, but it means it will take forever for me to save up =/
