Junior Guinea Pig
Unfortunately it seems it was a bit too good to be true. After about 3 weeks of my two boars getting along fine and dandy, tonight they have had a big ball-of-fur scrap in their play pen
I've separated them to calm down for now. They share a hutch but it's 2 levels and they tend to take a level each, so I think I'll block off the levels tonight and try a buddy bath tomorrow. I think it's stemmed from the initial bonding, as Archie certainly asserted his dominance when they met but I think Otto has decided he wants to be top pig as he is he oldest and biggest. He's been chasing Archie round for over a week but it's come to nothing as Archie is younger and quicker. I've got my fingers crossed.
Any other advice or suggestions would be appreciated. I've got a job interview tomorrow and have been distracted from interview prep to prevent guinea pig war!
