Adult Guinea Pig
for the baby to get a rough deal when it comes to food or grass time?
I thought that minty being a mum would be the bossy one of the group, she does know her own mind and crystal is a lot more laid back about things but when it comes to the veggies crystal gets what she wants first, she will share the bowl with minty but she wont share with fudge as much.
Also when I had them out on the grass earlier for a little while I put a shoe box for them to hide in, all 3 crowded inside but poor fudge kept being shoved out the way, I think it was crystal doing it but I couldnt see which one it was. I also saw crystal shove fudge aside when she went to drink from one of the two water bottles, crystal did move off after and fudge went back to get a drink, crystal seems rather grumpy with fudge a lot.
They are not fighting, and I am not concerned that they are falling out, I just feel a little sorry for poor fudge who is getting pushed (literally) around by crystal and wondered if this is a normal thing to happen.
I am getting to know their quirks as I watch them daily, and I have ordered two igloos to go out on the grass, they hadnt arrived today but thought the shoebox was big enough, and didnt expect them to all pile in to hide and scoff
, the same as making sure there is never one bowl or water bottle, hayrack etc so the chances of squabbles are reduced if one guards something, there is another nearby.
