Ever since my guinea pig bud had a fungal infection (which i am treating) him & his brother are not getting on teeth chattering constantly last week there was blood on cage and splattered up the wall today there was a squeal from bud and he was limping he seems fine. I have a two teir cage and find they are normally on different levels I also have a bit I can close off so they can't get to each other but can still see each other was wondering if I should keep them separate till buds condition is clear and how to get them to get along again
 
I have put them in separate parts just now but wondering how long I should do this for
 
They were fine until this fungal condition they are brothers and are 3 years old
 
boars can fall out at anytime you're not the first you won't be the last unfortunatly they dont always stay friends :(
 
Forgot to add that smokey also bit my Oh today had him bleeding Oh wasn't happy at all
 
if theyre stressed let them settle for a day or 2 then see how they react to each other with a grid between them
 
Any ideas on how to get them friends again they have been seperated all night just put them out of cage for a run as soon as I did that smokey started chattering again but bud is looking for him
 
ok piggies dont normally, bite i'm sure you have checked but he doesn't have mites does he? i would wait until bud is healed before trying to re-introduce :)
 
Sounds as though something is irritating them or they are sore from the fungal which can make them ultra sensitive to eveything. Have you checked for mites?
