My three boys lived togoether in big up and down house. Then they started to beat each other up and i had to seperate them and they seem heart broken. What ca n i do? they caused soo much blood when together which was weird as were happy for a year prior to this. Will they get depressed now? How do i stop them being bored during day when i am at work?

Thanks
 
Are all 3 of them fighting? I wouldn't suggest putting them back together if blood is being drawn, but if you have 2 that maybe aren't as aggressive you could try bonding them again.

Or if you have the space, get them all neutered and get them a wife each.
 
Ooooh a wife each would be fab. they dont hurt the ladies do they? How much on average is it to get them neutered?
 
If there are two that might get on then you could try rebonding them, but if they fight I'd seperate them again. If you have one male who won't bond again, then you could get him neutered and a wife, or get the three neutered and three wives, but you'd need three cages.

Or you could have the three boys in caged next to each other so they can still see each other and interact, but not fight. Hopefully that'd make them happier. :)
 
Boys are much more likely to get a long with the girls :)) Usually a pretty good bond.

Sorry I don't know about prices, they can vary a lot. Best advice would be to ring round your local vets and see if any have a piggie specialist.
 
Thanks guys, they are all near each other so they can def see each other. they have three seperate runs too which are close together and i hear them chatting. I just worry that now because of weather getting colder i will be able to put them out less and less so company would be great for them. Will def look into the lady friend thing.
 
My vets charge £55 for a guinea pig neuter and the one that our local rescue centre uses charges £50 so I would expect to pay around that mark.
 
If they can all see each other they are probably quite happy, but would be even happier with wives or other friends they got along with :))
