Minja, one of the girls, is being much more aggressive than normal. She shoos away Teddy, the other girl, when she tries to go to the hay rack while Minja's in it. There seems to be tension between all three of them. I'm afraid of a fallout because I'm not allowed anymore guinea pigs and have no clue what to do if they do. Could they just be in season/heat? Thanks.
 
Fall-outs between sows are very rare and they usually dont end up in fights. Being in season can trigger a new round of dominance behaviour, as can ovarian cysts in middle aged and older sows.

I would recommend to provide as many hideys and bowls as there are girls and also two water bottles and hay racks, so access can;t be blocked.
