fight

I have two bonded skinny sows that have lived together happily for over a year now. Every once in a while there will be some rumble strutting but nothing more, and they often sleep closeby out in the open together. Last week we were having outside time and one of them was injured, and after a...

My guinea pigs had a fight and one of them drew blood. The only issue is that I don't know who drew the blood(I tried looking for any blood on their bodies(they are both red haired guinea pigs making it hard)) and I don't know where the blood was drawn. Because of this I haven't had any anti...

Hello everyone! It’s me *again*, the most worried pig dad in the world. I have 3-month-old boars who haven’t gotten along great since I got them 3 weeks ago, but since then, it’s gotten much worse. No actual fighting with blood, but they’re chattering very loudly ALL the time, to the point where...

My two pigs have lived separate for around a year after a big fight. Their cages are together so they’re not alone and they free roam - we take it in turns as to who is open. Yesterday morning we woke up and one had yanked the others door open meaning they were both out. They’d had a bit of a...

I have three boys who have lived together without problems, since I brought home my 1 year old last july and my 5 month old in january. I have a 5 year old who has been here from the start, but surprisingly he was very lenient with the two babies coming home and had no issues with them. All of...

Hello everyone, my two boars have been living together now for over 7 months. They have NEVER had a fight and have always gotten along. Today, I had put a new fleece tunnel in from Etsy without washing it just to see if they liked it. They suddenly started going crazy and started to fight and...

Hello, a couple weeks ago my boar and sow got into a fight that led to an ear wound. I’m sure of their genders I’ve had the sow for over a year now. She had been living with the boar for months just fine. Until I rescued two female guinea pigs and added them to the home. The boar fell into favor...

Hello, my herd of four has been introduced for about a month now, and they had been fine. I have my guinea pigs in my bedroom so this morning I woke up to very loud squeaking, some squeaks shrill. I got up to check on them and Bunny - the (neutered) boar and leader - was chasing my three girls...

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...

I’ve previously posted about Bobby being poorly and therefore irritable with his cage mate Beans. We separated them when Bobby went for him, which I now realise was a mistake. They were just two weeks into their bonding and up until that point it had gone so well. We did put Bobby’s behaviour...

Hi! Wondering if anyone can explain this, guinea pigs (ladies) were happy before and during floor time, and I put them all back in the cage at the same time. Immediately one starts bullying the other. No biting but such aggressive mounting that the mounter fell off. I'm seperating them for the...

Hi everyone! There are so many great resources on this website for understanding bonding basics and anything else you’d need to know. I have a pretty good idea of what’s going on, but turning to professionals for a consensus never hurts. Back in September, I rescued a 6 month old male (who my...

Hello, Just under a year ago we adopted a Boar (about 2-3 years old) called Bob from my partner's sister. For a few months he was really coming out of his shell like we've never seen before but we always thought he looked a bit lonely. So after some research and asking someone at Pets at Home...

I have a 1.5 year old boar Benio, who was bonded with little Ozzie who is now around 4- 5 months. They were bonded when Ozzie was about 6 weeks, and seem to get on fine, with some typical dominance behaviour going on. Since the start, Benio was the dominant pig, with Ozzie usually making...

Hi all, I am planning on getting 2 baby boars since boars are said to be more outgoing. This is our first time having 2 piggies so after some research I'm kind of worried.. since they will both be around 4-5 weeks old when they come together they probably will bond well. But what happens when...

Please someone help me. I’ve my same boys for almost a year, Felix and Rufus. I think it was a bad idea in the beginning to take in 2 more bores just yesterday.... I couldn’t tell myself no though because these ones where severely neglected; both 3 year olds who never had their nails trimmed EVER...

Hello there lovely cavy owners, I am really strtled and have no idea what to do right now. I have four guinea pigs, 2 of them bought from a pet store 3 years ago, my first piggies Milou and Tintin Then i bought a retired show pig named Milda she turned 5 week before last And lastly the youngest...

Hello, in mid July 2018 we decided to get Guinea Pigs for the first time. We went to 2 separate people who were selling their newborns. Both pairs between 8-9 weeks old. We brought a pair of long hair male brothers from some guinea pig breeders and named the back haired Dave, and the white head...

I bought three male guinea pigs at the beginning of January 2018, it was not the plan as I went in to buy two but left with three because I did not have it in me to leave the third behind. I named them Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. However, I soon noticed that there was something wrong with Alvin...

So, todays reintroducing Auroura to the group ended pretty badly, Though the whole thing Auroura was being quite aggressive to the others, Lots of rumblings, yawnings, jabbing and lounging. It ended with a tussle between Lottie and Auroura, I'm not sure if I did the right thing by breaking...
