guinea pig behaviour

Hello, this is my first post and sorry it's long. I have two guinea pigs both around the same age and sows. One is about five and the other is about four. I've had the older one for four years and I got the other more recently after the others cage mate passed. The bonding went well, they stayed...

I'm bonding my original guinea pig(Cookie) with a new guinea pig(Bubbles) after cookies cage mate passed. I've had them in their neutral area for about 5 hours, they haven't really fought and when they did it was very quick, no blood. They coexist pretty well and they don't go after each other...

Hello, everyone! My guinea pig, Jojo, just came back from the vet. He was given anaesthesia an hour ago because his teeth needed to be trimmed. He has now come back but is still pretty drowsy — he is not eating and is pretty lazy. In how much time does the effect of anaesthesia wear off in...

I'm not completely sure where i should write this but hopefully this will work. my guinea pigs don’t eat very much when i’m not the one feeding them or when i’m not home. is that normal? and if not what can i do to prevent it? they’re both nine months old and i’ve had them since they were three...

My youngest gp is about 7 months old, we have had him since January with my eldest who I believe to be over the age of 3. My youngest has been mounting my eldest to the point he is shoving him in the corner and almost knocking him over. My eldest always tries to get away and has never bit him...

I’ve had my two male guineas coming up to two years from the start they had little arguments but nothing serious like hurting each other until lately I have noticed my bigger guinea pig hulk has bald patches and really small scabs from the other guinea pig theadore pulling his hair out ! so I...

Hi guys! I'm brand new to this website... And brand new to owning some Guinea pigs! I did loads of research and finally brought home my two girls yesterday (seen in pic) from my local rescue. I understand that Guinea pigs can be very timid at first but these two haven't moved a single muscle...

Hello everyone! I already have a thread going about a different problem I have, but I figured since I was already here I could bring up something that's been troubling me for a while. If you haven't read my last thread, I have 5 guinea pigs. The oldest is about 3 years old, and the youngest we...

Random question: Does anyone's piggie(s) stare at them? My caramel teddy does it all the time. I've gotten used to it and I think she is just waiting for me to move to get some food for her as she is the most receptive to hand feeding and being picked up. I've attached some of my pics where I...

From what I read, I think it is because they are both young (6 months and 4 months) males but I want to double check my specific situation. I got one pig from a family who was going to send him to a rescue when he was about 3 months and he was fairly aggressive and not friendly. After 3 months...

My guinea pigs eye is getting crust around it what should I do?

I recently got 3 male guinea pigs (Ed, Al, and Mustang) they’re about 5 weeks old. They’re brothers as far as I’m aware, and therefore have been together since birth. I’ve only had them about a week or 2 and recently Mustang has been obsessively sniffing/licking/possibly eating poo from Ed’s...
