So, it has almost been a week since I took in Coca, my new guinea pig for my first piggie, Mocha. Although they fight for food sometimes (especially Mocha), today was a bit different. By the way, Coca is younger than Mocha. Mocha is turning one this year and Coca is turning one next year.
Today, I had to clean their fleece, and I didn't have an extra so I kept them in the playpen until it was dry. They were using towels as hides, and sleeping, chilling. I set up the cage again, and they both go in. A few minutes later, Coca, the youngest, chatters his teeth, and then when he gets close to Mocha, Mocha runs away. Their running steps are so loud, and they're hitting every corner of the cage, so it makes loud crashing noises too. Coca also ripped 2 small chunks of fur from Mocha. That's when I started getting really concerned. However, they're not mounting on top of each other, and Mocha just seems to be scared of him and just goes into his hide. My mom made me take out his hide because she thinks he's going to stay in there forever. So when I took it out, he just seemed really confused, and when Coca saw, he came closer to Mocha, and then Mocha freaks out and tries to run away from him. Like, Mocha runs really fast. I checked Mocha a few times, just making sure he isn't bleeding, injured, etc., and he was fine.
My mom also made me put Coca in the playpen to "quarantine" him for an hour or so, and when I put him back, a few minutes later, Coca chases Mocha. I have NO idea what's happening and WHY this is happening. And also what should I do?
