Is A Piggie "Cat Fight" Normal?

[Crystal.L]

Hey, yes, it's me, again. Is it weird that my youngest piggie (4 months) will like kind of stand on his hind legs just to like swat at his 5 year old (if I remember correctly) piggie room mate and one time when my rabbit got loose and opened up the door to their room (it wasn't closed all the way because I was cleaning and adding water to their water bottles), at first when he saw her and he started pop corning but when she came closer, he started chattering and the hair on his back/neck rose up and when she booped him, he swat at her which she ignored.

It would be normal to have a fearful reaction (like teeth chattering) to something as large as a rabbit. Please endeavor to keep them seperate in the future. I know mistakes happen though, the other day my dog got into the bedroom for a moment with the quarantine pigs when a door didn't shut all the way. He only wanted to look at them, but it gave them a fright that I'd rather have avoided.

I am not 100% sure what you are describing between the guinea pigs, but rearing up could be a sign of tension? Are they both boars? Do they have enough space to get away from each other?

Please keep your rabbit away from your piggies. Aside from transmissible infections between the species, rabbits are far more powerful than piggies and a misjudged swipe or kick from a rabbit can seriously injure a piggy.

They have a whole room to themselves. They are both boars but my 4 month old did just turn 4 months.
