New Born Pup
hi,
6 months ago we got two male guinea pigs, they were bonded and happy together the whole time. unfortunately though we recently lost one of them, leaving whiskers to be a single 9/10 month old
so, we got a new young male who is about 12 weeks old. today we tried to introduce them and it did not go well. they fought both times they saw each other (we tried again in a more neutral area than the first time). whiskers had lots of teeth chattering and looked like he would have lunged and fought the baby again if we had not separated them.
no blood was drawn but it was clear they were not happy, altho they were only together for a few minutes - we separated them not wanting to risk one being injured.
i just wondered if someone could offer some advice on what the next best step is?
thank you!
