Oh my god my two boys keep fighting well its not fighting as such more bickering and running round squeeling at eachother biting bums and stuff. This is there second day here do you think they could be trying to work out whos boss in this house or what?
 
get them into separate cages ASAP. Ive had to part a few of mine even though two have been long time Friends. its a male(testosterone ) thing one wants to be the ALPHA male. i had two that wasgreat together and I put something in the cage that had belonged to another male, result fighting. now both are in separate cages . fact of life with guinea pigs I'm afraid.
 
There is no need to seperate unless a full fight has started, if you seperate they will never bond and it may just be a bit of dominating. They were fine with Helen, they are just getting used to everything. Give them time.

But if they do have a scrap then yes definitly seperate then. Hope they settle down.
 
Yeah I think they're deffo trying to establish dominance and the Alpha male thing. I totally agree with S&T and would never separate unless a full scale war had broken out. I've always found that they settle eventually.

Good luck O0
 
Also, try and make sure they have as much space as possible and two of everything; water bottles, food bowls, toys, hidey holes etc.
 
I am also getting this right now between my two boys they just seem to be making noises at each other and one seems to try and get on top of the other one and they are chasing each other round the cage. I don't understand this as they have been together since last September what can I do?
 
mine do alot of that and they are just teling each other who is boss, like S&T said you dont need to seperate unless they have a proper fight and this is wen they are one ball of fluff rolling around in the cage.
 
hoping your boys settle down. they are just trying to see who will be boss piggy and they are after all teenagers. unless there is blood or fluff boys fighting i would just keep a close eye on them. good luck :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: girls send :-* :-* :-*
