both of our guinea pigs appear to be male. but one of them keeps doing this thing with his bum which a website we've read says is part of a mating ritual... Oo

Is this a 'male trying to show he's dominant' thing or have they been sexed wrong?! we *really* do not have space to house baby guinea pigs...
 
No, this is a male dominance thing, as is humping (from any side)... So don't be shocked!
 
Have a look at the sticky thread at the top of this section. Sometimes boars can have a fall-out, especially when they hit the hormones at about five months old. It would be useful to know the dangers signs.

Anyway, welcome to this board - and enjoy your boys!
 
Yes, the bottom wiggling is often accompanied with purring or low rumbling and is just a dominance thing and quite normal. It is basically your boar telling his friend that he's a bloke and he's feelin' good! ;)
