Junior Guinea Pig
For advanced gp whisperers only , although I have tried to avoid inappropriate language.
We’ve only really had boars over the years but two of them have been prone to getting overexcited and harassing their partner. Crumble, sadly no longer with us, and now Chips. Chips was old Crumble’s young understudy for almost a year and is now paired up with Dobby, both 2 years young.
After settling down for a couple of weeks after bonding, Chips, the big boss at nearly 1.5kg started to harass Dobby. One of our teenage sons (Crumble’s ‘dad’) helped him to calm down by holding him upright while he relieved himself and immediately peace returned. A month on and they were getting a bit chasey today and to keep the peace we decided we should assist him again. Son isn’t keen to be the one doing this and refused but ended up taking over during the ‘lesson’.
Anyway, I won’t go into more detail on this family forum but do others have alternative solutions? It doesn’t seem to be a universal problem as our other boars seem to have been self regulating. He does have a cuddly toy which helped during bonding but not to that extent.
I don’t expect this to be featured in GPM and haven’t seen glue referenced in this context. Not sure if there’s a way of explaining more clearly without potentially causing offence.
