Junior Guinea Pig
I currently have two 8 month old bonded sows together and have recently rescued a 3/4 month old sow, she was mistreated and was living alone in a filthy cage without access to water and basic needs. I kept her separated from my other two whilst she settled in. I tried to bond them all in a neutral area but she is so frighted and immediately began to lunge, nip and puff up and become very aggressive. I aborted the bonding session and put her side by side with a divider in my 6x2 c&c cage, she seems much happier, she is eating more, sniffing the others through the bars and even popcorning. I’m not sure wether I’m time I should attempt to bond again? Or if she will be happy as she is with her own space but companionship through the divider. Maybe I attempted to bond too soon?
