New Born Pup
I got a new Guinea pig for my boar as his other companion sadly passed away, I didn’t want him to be a lonely piggy as he is only 10months old.
On 21st December I started the bonding process with a new young piggy (male) in a neutral environment and it went really well. They were getting on, and they really enjoyed each others company, until a few days ago.
My 10month old is really hating the younger one, he keeps chasing him, teeth chattering and blocking him in a corner, the little one has become so terrified of him. We had to separate them as it got so aggressive (no blood was drawn) It’s so unlike him as he’s normally really friendly.
The new younger piggy keeps wheeking making noises as he really likes another pigs company, and obviously now they are separated it won’t happen.
I need advice on what on earth to do, as at the minute I have one in a ferplast cage and one in a bluebell hutch. We have tried to get them back together but he’s not having any of it.
Is there any signs I need to look out for if the 10month is unwell? Or could he have just turned and suddenly not want company from another pig.
