Guineapigservant
New Born Pup
Hi, so I have two lovely female piggies who are about to turn 6 called Nutmeg and Pixie and another (called Dandelion) who sadly just passed away. I've had Nutmeg and Pixie since they were little and they get on well with each other and they love to sit on my lap and be cuddled (especially if I feed them snacks). I pick up Pixie nearly every day and I've never had any problems with her being aggressive towards me. However, my Dad often looks after the piggies for me whilst I clean their hutch out and he's told me that two times she's lunged at him when he's gone to pick her up and tried to bite him in a very aggressive way. He's held her plenty of other times where she's been fine. And then today I was cuddling her and she was purring and seemed really happy and my Dad came over to stroke her and she lunged at him and tried to bite him. He's really gentle with them, never strokes them where they don't like to be stroked and generally does everything right when handling them as far as I can see. My other piggie Dandy (who just passed) absolutely adored my Dad (he was her favourite person by far) and Nutmeg loves everyone. I'm just curious if anyone has any ideas as to why Pixie is sometimes so aggressive towards him. I will probably be the only one to handle her from now on just to be safe.
