But we got Luna the on piggie left a cage mate and Luna hates Maggie the new one she made her bleed today I have tried everything and Luna it's getting more clingy to me and Maggie hates me for putting her with Luna I don't know what to do

Oh dear! I'm afraid it sounds like they don't like each other! Did you introduce them properly or just put them in together and hope for the best? @Wiebke is good for advice. Can you help Wiebke?

Hi! I am very sorry for your loss!

Did you introduce them properly on neutral ground? It sounds like Luna felt invaded and bit in defence. After a full-on bite, guinea pigs won't go back together again; it sounds like that has hppened in your case unfortunately.
