Hi,
I have 2 bonded female guinea pigs, Jenny and Blair, who are now 8 months. They have always been fine together and no issues but the past week we have noticed bites in Jenny’s ear which have gotten progressively worse to her now bleeding quite badly from the area. For now we have separated them both but we’re unsure of what could have caused this and why the sudden turn in behaviour. We have never seen or heard them fighting before. We have also just adopted 3 more girls, Fudge, Rita and Mango, they are 4 months old. During bonding Jenny has been fine around them but Blair has been chattering her teeth and trying to bite so again we separated her. Could we bond Blair with another so she isn’t alone or after some time will the aggressiveness settle down? We don’t know what to do as we don’t want her to be alone but it also isn’t safe for her to be around them right now? Has anyone experienced this before or have any advice? Thank you
