Adult Guinea Pig
Hi all, my two boars had a falling out last night......Pudding was on "randy piggie hyperdrive" and (I think) Squeak got proper peed off with it and nipped him.....the upshot was that there was bloodshed, so we decided to split them up until we consider our options.
One of our options is housing them side-by-side in a run. We bought this run at the weekend, planning to use it on the grass in the summer; we spent a couple of hours removing all of the chicken wire (:{) and it's a fantastic spacious run for the boys.
Anyway, it's 5ft x 4ft, and we can easily split it in half by folding down the lid, so the boys can see each other all the time and even touch noses, but can't actually get to each other for any 'how's your father'!
Would this work? Until last night's falling out, they'd been getting on fine......occasionally there was normal boar-like behaviour, but nothing of any concern.......the perfect outcome of all this would be to continue to keep them together, but I understand that this may not be possible.
Would them living in such close quarters mean that their friendship would continue, hopefully until Pudding gets over his desire to bonk anything that moves :{, when they can go back in together, or would they have to be rebonded all over again?
