We have had them both for just over a week now, They were brill together no fighting ect Fudge was trying to mount Mozni but it would phase out after a minute or two. But just the last 2/3 days every time Fudge goes near Moz he does this thing where he sort of growls/Purs with his back raised then lashes at Fudge.

As you can imagine we have grown very fond of both of them and it's very uncomfortable to see them fight (Gets pretty nasty) it's as if Fudge is scared now he stays out of the hide out in the cage and when we put them in the run he stays well away hidden but when he does get excited and Popcorns Moz attacks him.

Any suggestions as to what we should do? Do we leave them to it? Ive just had Fudge out and he had Two tiny scabs on his neck like it's been pierced with a bite?

Any advice much appreciated :)
 
You need to seperate the two boys if he's been bitten. Once a guinea pig bites another one they can never be kept together again as cage mates. I'm sorry. :(

For now you can either get two more boars, with boar dating (to make sure the same fighting doesn't happen again) or you could neuter both and get a female or if you don't want more piggies, keep them in two different cages side by side so they can see one another but not attack. :)
 
if you decide you can give each a new friend please give them two of everything as this can stop tension. I have 4 girls in one group and one of them is obnoxious No blood just lots of rumblestrutting The others just keep out of her way wen she starts .I have two of everything for them and it seems to work Dont think she would share some days
