#dominance

So i just got 2 new piggys both make and I'm a new piggy owner and one off them has a short temper i think because one off them is trying to be dominant and the other keeps trying to hump it or allways be near the other and the dominant one allways gets mad at it when it humps it and makes the...

Hi, I adopted two male guinea pigs from pets at home. Apparently they were 5 weeks old on adoption, one was very small about 300g. Both got on until four months and then a massive of fur, whirl winding and I had to split them up. Since then I can't have them together or with other guinea pigs...
