New Born Pup
Hi there!
Three days ago my guinea pigs, both boars, had a fight and there was blood drawn. The older is around 7 months and the younger is 4 months old.
The older one was the injured one, he had a bite on his upper lip and it looked bad. I went to the vet and everything was fine, they gave me antibiotics just in case to prevent the wound getting infected and he's doing fine, he can eat and drink as always.
The thing is that now they're living in separate cages in separate spots of the room because they start to chatter their teeth and make angry noises and get agressive when they see each other. They try to fight through the cage and I dont think it's good for them, they just get angry and stressed.
For now I'll let the older guy heal. I've thought about a possible solution:
- Try to rebond them once they get at least a year and a half old. But they will have to wait at least a year living alone, just squeaking at each other from time to time from different sides of the room
.
Getting two sows, one with each boar is not an option, I can't have 4 piggies. I would love to but I can't.
What would you suggest?
Thanks in advance !
