fighting

Hi! My name is Jenna, and I have three female piggies. I moved houses a couple of weeks ago which has put a little stress on the pigs. A few days ago, I noticed that one of them, Mini, wasn’t eating. Today we took her to the vet and found out she has gi stasis. She’s lost a lot of energy. Keep...

Greetings! I am new to this forum so please forgive me for any mistakes with my posts:) I have three male guinea pigs; Fred, Junior, and Nubs(he is missing a foot hence the name). Recently, Nubs has been getting himself into some fights with my other boys, resulting in bloody wounds. I took my...

Hi! I'm super worried about one of my girls and was looking for advice from anyone! I have 4 sows, all about 4 months old now. They seem to get on okay, do the odd stand off and dominance, but I've just gone in the give them their evening veg and seen a little cut on one of the girls eye...

Hi everyone. I just recently adopted (three days ago) two piggies. The previous owner had no information on them and their living conditions were not very good. From what I could tell these are two boys. One is quite a bit bigger than the other and seems to always bully the smaller one...

Hello! New member here! I have three boars, Oreo, Milo, and Mo, who are going on three years old. They are all brothers and initially we brought home Oreo and Milo as babies. About a month later, we saw that Mo’s adoption had fallen through, so we added him to the group. I fell for the...

I've recently posted about urgently rescuing a baby guinea pig as it was alone for weeks. This is about the baby. I have noticed that all my piggies apart from one is completely fine with her. I first noticed a small wound on her nose and thought it might have been a warning nip gone too far...

Okay. So I’ve been wanting to post on here for a while now to get some feedback/insight on the situation with my three nearly 7 month old boys. I didn’t know about the dangers and stress of having a boar trio, until after I already got my three boys. They lived all together as babies before I...

Hi everyone, I have had my 2 female 10 month old guinea pigs for a week now, they’ve settled in well and have been getting on great but today I noticed they’ve been chattering their teeth quite a bit at eachother, which is sometimes followed by them chasing one another and just seeming pretty...

Hello! I'm a fairly new guinea pig owner (going on a few months) and despite reading a lot of things, something is still bugging me about what's going on. I have one piggy tgat I've had for 5 months, and one that's a little younger who we just got 1 month ago. Two girls. The bonding went as...

Hello! Sorry new to this, but wanted advice! I have 4 baby boys, 1 in quarantine for a URI and 3 together. The 3 have been find until recently, the newest addition to the trio keeps picking fights with the older male. He has scratches and bites on his rump and one on his lip. Would separating...

Hey! I've posted before about getting a third and decided against but have recently gave it more thought. I have a 2x5 c&c with a 3x2 hay loft. With two litter trays, 3 hay stations and two bowls. I will be buying the new guinea pig its own bowl and fleeces ect. I am a bit worried though as...

Hi! I got a guinea pig about a week ago and named her daisy. She was the sweetest cuddly thing ever and she’s super young and little still. I ended up getting her a friend three days after getting her so she wouldn’t be lonely. The new one is zoey. Zoey is a little bit bigger and older then...

hi, I'm new to this forum! i have three guinea pigs called munch, nibbles and chewie. i got munch and nibbles, my girls, last year from a pet shop as i was uneducated at the time as to where to get them from. they were never really the best of friends and they sometimes fight but they tolerate...

Hello all! Last year I adopted 3 guinea pigs that I absolutely loved, so I decided to get two more. I isolated the New Guinea pigs in a cage right next to the other 3 for about two weeks then introduced them to my other 3 pigs. Unfortunately it didn’t go well. Lillie, my most dominate old pig...

I have four pigs, 3 boars and a sow. Bear (older boar) moved back in with Womble recently. Bear was living with two baby boars (Biggum and Wilson) and before he left kept on having stand offs with Wilson. Now he's gone, Wilson and Biggum keep fighting, it starts off with tooth chattering...

Hi I'm new by the way but i wanted to find a chat especially for guinea pigs well yes my girls had a fight today while i was cleaning their cage and this never happens they’re usually fine and getting along but my first/oldest guinea pig decided to attack her sister and my guinea pigs are like my...

Hi All, I'm new to signing up (hello!) but have used this forum many times in the past to search advice and it has been so helpful. Thank you. I'm a fairly experienced owner; 20 years of having boars and have always have had two, either bonded or side by side when trouble occurred! But I'm in a...

Hi all I wonder if you can offer advice. I have 3 sows. My youngest sow Poppy is going to be 2 next month. I have one boar, who will be 2 in around June/July time. All 4 have lived together without any real issues since bonding Stuart, my boar, with the 3 girls in June last year. They have a...

Warning: Image of injury at bottom. Phil and Alex have had a fight. I'm used to their normal bickering but today was by far the worse. Phil's ear has been torn nearly in two, I can see white which I assume is cartilage. When I picked him up i found many scratches that had scabbed over under...

Hello all! This might be a long one so apologize in advance! So on Saturday we introduced a mother and daughter pair that my boyfriend and I re-homed. We have 4 girls of our own, one of which is still new to the group and a baby. My boyfriend's roommate moved out so we were excited to have a...
