Junior Guinea Pig
So we have had our 2 boars for 3 weeks now and they are doing so well, the lady we got them from wanted them to stay together as they had already bonded and were inseparable and they still get on really well. We are entering the teenage months and i am making sure that they have 2 of everything and also 2 to 3 hide aways so that if they need it they can have alone time... i have yet to establish who is the alpha although teddy seems to do the mating dance around barnaby i am wondering if he is going to be the more dominant of the 2. My daughter who is 8 has continued to take excellent care of them she has tamed them so quickly that barnaby sits in front of her (she sits in their enclosure with them!) to be stroked and if she stops he looks at her as if to say 'why have you stopped!' he even lets her give him a brush. She has been able to pick them up in a cosy as well. She asked me today if we need to clip their claws? I would like to get them more settled before we check/attempt this.. how often does this need to be done?
I have included a couple of photos of their enclosure (we cleaned it today so all tidy!) Barnaby on the left and teddy (i know not original as he is a teddy breed but my daughter loved the name!)
