Junior Guinea Pig
Hi there just wondering if I could get some advice please I have 4 females around 4 months old. I got my first pair of girls Dolores and dory and then a few weeks later my second pair marshmallow and popcorn. Everything has seemed to go well I have noticed popcorn is the most skittish of the girls she will take her pellets or food away and hide resulting sometimes in her not getting as much as the others..
she wheeks anytime you go near her and sometimes when any of the girls go near her but especially if you try to pick her up. I have checked her belly just to make sure there were no obvious bites or anything sore to the eye seems ok but I’m just wondering is this behaviour normal? Once you are cuddling her the wheeking stops.
We got a dome it’s big enough for the four of them but popcorn just loves it and if anyone goes inside with her she wheeks and it causes them to jump in and out. This morning I heard unusual wheeking I ran to the cage and saw Dolores lunging at popcorn they were both inside the dome I got popcorn out to try and reassure her although I think this may have caused more stress trying to pick her up.
I would hate to have to separate them but popcorn is the weakest of the group and I have big concerns here many thanks
