Guineamum
New Born Pup
Hi everyone,
We lost two guinea pigs within a couple of months of each other for different reasons, which left us with one sow around 2y. We ended up getting a neutered boar and a sow from a rescue, both 18m. We have a 2 storey c&c which we've been able to divide up as boar still has some weeks until he's able to be with girls. We've been guinea pig owners for 10 years and have had boars before, and neutered boars, but this one seems extremely shy and quiet. The sow has had some bonding time in a neutral space with our guinea pig Bea, who's a confident but caring and nurturing piggie. She's incredibly shy and quiet too. Neither new pigs are wheaking at all. Bea seems a lot happier now that she's got friends (she was only alone for 3 days) but the others are just so quiet. It is only our first night, but as our last 3 got on so well, I'm worried now that these are not going to be compatible. Any advice from seasoned guinea pig owners or is it just a case of time will tell? Many thanks
P.S haven't fully decided on names for the new ones yet...
