Louise's Zoo
Adult Guinea Pig
Eva's babies are now 8 weeks old and I've noticed that Eden is becoming very dominant and very often going nose to nose and nipping at her sister and her mum. There is no fighting, just her trying it on but what surprised me today was that Eva (mum) was doing some very loud teeth chattering but then backed down and ran away from Eden. This seems to be happening more often.
Can a young sow become top pig, even pushing her mum down off the top spot?
Or, Eden is still on pregnancy watch and I don't know if she is pregnant or not but wondering if the others can tell and are letting her get away with it?
Lastly, can it happen that daughters fall out with mum and sisters or are family groups usually stable?
Thanks
