fighting

Hi everyone, I didn't see a thread exactly like my situation so thought I would post one. I have a neutered male and he was living with my 3 older females which he bonded well with and they lived together for a week. Suddenly they began to fight, my male didn't fight back but 2 of my girls were...

My name is Annelle - an enthusiastic new Guinea Pig parent. I have two little boys (less than 6 months old,) named Banjo and Snoopy. I intended to stop there until I was at a Petco and felt horrible for a bigger male who was being kept alone in the small cage. My heart when out to him and I...

So, I have 5 boars (I'm trying to find a good vet to get them fixed just to be safe, but I know that won't change anything about them), they were all bought at the same time, but at 2 different locations, mostly healthy, they've been together for about a month (give or take), and 2 of them won't...

my two board have just reached 6 months, they're doing a lot of rumbling and nosing off etc. Is t just waiting for it to pass? I've read the advice on this thread backwards but just want to check that unless they're drawing blood, you leave them to figure it out?

I have had 2 pigs who are brothers for about 3 months now. They are close to a year old and have been together since birth, although they're not from the same litter. When we adopted them they were fine, but over the last few days that have started chattering and fighting frequently, and I don't...

Hi, I have 2 sows that i have had for a little over 2 weeks now. They are 8-9 weeks old. But I'm really worried that they arent getting along at all. They are named Milou and Tintin. Milou an abyssian and tintin I'm not sure he is short haired, american? is that a breed? However Milou is chasing...

Hi I'm new to guinea pigs and I'm really worried they arent getting along at all. They are Female and 7-8 weeks old. I brought them home 2 weeks exactly from now. They are biting each other how ever there hasnt been any blood drawn so ive never interupted them (good or bad?) They chase each other...

hi so i have 2 guinea pigs, one long hair and one short. I got them in August 2016 and they were born in May 2016. I bought them together so they knew each other but one of them developed an abces and we took her to the vet who drained it and then it re grew and popped on its own accord, she...

Hi! I got a new guinea pig today, as I had one pass away recently after only having her for a few weeks :no: I have a 1 year old female, and when I got her previous friend (about 6 weeks old) who passed not long after I got her, she was fine with allowing her into her life. Today I got her...

I bought my guinea pigs from what was suppose to be a reputable breeder. I've had a lot of problems with them since having them 4 weeks ago. A lot of them were diet and health related, I have either resolved or they are resolving. My biggest worry and problem right now is a dominance problem...

So just as a quick disclaimer i am aware that boars can be grouchy and that dominance plays a big part in this! I know who is the dominant pig and who is the submissive but i was just wondering if anyone else finds this! Also i apologise in advance for the novel i am about to write! So my boys...

Anyone can see in my post history that there's been a bit of a saga regarding my two boars, Tubs (dominant, but fear-reactive) and Flubs (submissive, but not enough for Tubs' taste). They've never really co-existed peacefully, and things have went up and down during their teenage months. They...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me? I have two boars both around fifteen weeks, they've been together pretty much since birth and today they had a massive fight. There was lots of teeth chattering and then they linger at each other. I've separated them but I'm unsure of...

Hi, we're the proud new owners of two ADORABLE guinea pigs, Mocha and Boba. They are both so cuddly and cute and we already love them with all our hearts, and treat them like our kids. We think that Boba is the slightly older one of the two (both of them are 2-3 month old babies), and Mocha is...

Hi! I have two boars, they are brothers and I adopted them when they were likely a year old. I've had them since January, and when I adopted them I was told that they occasionally get into little tiffs but nothing to worry about. Lately they've been fighting a LOT. At least two or three times a...

hiya i have to 8 month old guinea pigs who have had small fights before but only ever lasted for seconds, but when i came in this morning a small amount of blood was in the hutch but when i checked them over their was no sign of cuts ect and have been getting on fine throughout the day in their...

I adopted a mom and a baby from the Animal Humane Society. The mum is 1 year old, and the baby is around 4 weeks. The mother has been rumble strutting, which is normal... but today, she has been seemingly ATTACKING her baby! The baby gives out these horrible shrills, so I usually take her out to...

Hi All, I have two 5-months old boars, Bhalu and Puck. They live in a 6x2 C&C cage with a 2x2 loft, and I let them roam around the room they are in everyday. Bhalu, my larger boy, adores Puck, always wants to be near him and gets very anxious when I separate him from Puck, even if it's just for...

i got my 3 boys about 18months ago, they were fine at first but eventually started getting a little fed up with each other and other time it's gotten worse and worse. I clean out there cage as often as I can and wash there house and food bowl etc. to rid of their scents. I also have a hay ball...

Hello everyone, I brought my three rescue piggies home a couple of days ago and they've started to settle. Since they're not hiding constantly now like when they first got home, they've started to show some behaviours that I'm a little concerned about. The least concerning is one of my girls...
