Lately, Luna is the worst rumbler ever. She's rumbling at her sister and nipping her, then going to Bandit and mounting her. I have checked she is a girl.
I don't know whats up with her. I would take her to the vets but I went when Trixie was biting me and they said nothing was up.
Maybe they just aren't happy anymore.

How old is she? I’d personally have her checked by a vet for possible hormonal problems or ovarian cysts which can make them grumpy

She is 2, coming up to 3.
 
If her behaviour is out of the norm then, as above, you should get her seen by the vet. All the best 😊

Please have her checked by a vet more familiar with guinea pigs for ovarian cysts; this is the classic age for the hormonal ones that can change the behaviour and really impact on group life. Quite often, a change in behaviour is all you get from ovarian cysts without any other physical symptoms.

Here is more information on ovarian cysts and treatment options: Sows: Behaviour and female health problems (including ovarian cysts)
Here is the link to our recommended vets locator (you can also find it on the top bar): Vet Locator

All the best!
 
So what do vets do about ovarian cysts.
One of my first girls got that and was going to have surgery before she died

Please read the green link in my last post for detailed information. There are now alternatives to a spaying op by way of hormonal treatment most commonly in the form of injections in the UK.

Please keep in mind that we are all doing this for free in our own free time and that I have a busy day and cannot explain it all in detail. For this purpose we have created detailed in-depth information guides on the most regular issues cropping up. It has taken me often several days to write a guide and make sure that the information in there is complete and perfectly clear.
