New Born Pup
Hey, I just wanted to come on for some advice on bonding with my Guinea pig. I’ve had 2 Guinea pigs for about 3 months now, both male and around 2 months ago I tried picking up one of my boys, Linus and he freaked out. My other pig tried to get involved and it resulted in a massive fight starting between them. The fight thankfully ended before anyone was hurt and there were no wounds so I chose not to separate them. Since then, they are very aggressive towards each other but don’t really fight, just rumble and chatter teeth and are very territorial, since there’s been no actual fighting, again I’ve chosen not to separate but I can’t help but wonder if this is what is making Linus seem nervous and hide a lot. Every time I try to pick Linus up since then, he starts a fight with my other pig, often he chatters his teeth at me if I even just go near him. I’ve tried just leaving him alone but I want to bond with him, especially if there’s a chance for him to forgive me since I’ve only had him a few months. My other pig seems to have forgotten all about it, and even though he doesn’t like being touched, isn’t hostile towards me and will interact just fine. I’m wondering if anyone has any advice on what I can do? I’ve seen a lot of people saying to hand feed which I am trying, but even just some reassurance on whether or not things will improve would be VASTLY appreciated.
Thank you!
Thank you!
