Hi,
We have 2 male Guinea pigs obtained from same breeeder but not sure if brothers. They were tog from January 2022 until August 2022 when we went on holiday and paid an animal boarde to look after them. They had never fought until then. When we collected them they both had wounds to their faces and they were not in the same hutches had as when we dropped them off and were surrounded by lots of other Guinea pigs. They were very cramped.
On returning home they fought and we have had to keep them separate since. They seem ok and not lonely but will they ever bond again? I am scared to put them together as when we brough them indoors in the winter and into a new cage they fought again so have been kept separate ever since, We also have 4 girls in another cage but when they are all outside in their pens is it worse if they see the girls or is it good for them to interact. We let the boys each free roam ( separately) before putting them back in their hutches and they go str to the girls patch of grass.
How would you suggest introducing them again? Or are they best kept as lone Guinea pigs?
