Hi, we brought home 2 girls from a rescue last Saturday. We're new to guinea pigs. The girls are lovely, but the smallest (Oreo) has started rumblestrutting constantly and has now started mounting the other girl (Dancer). Dancer is then getting annoyed and lunging at Oreo and then the cycle starts again.
Initially Dancer seemed to be the dominant pig, chasing Oreo out of the hidey and lungung/chasing her away from food if she was already eating. She still does this occasionally and Oreo will do a little squeak and run away, but then will come with the butt shaking and rumbling. They do settle but are sleeping separately.
I know they will still be settling in, but I wanted to check if this is concerning, especially as theh are both sows?
I have messaged the rescue but I know they are busy so not likely to be checking messages constantly! I'm just a bit worried
I have a video but can't figure out how to upload it.
