P
piggy
On the 31st December last year I bought a lovely tri coloured boar from my local P@H store. I chose him for his lovely colour and because he seemed terrified in with the other pigs in the pen. I am starting to think it was a mistake. I thought I was doing well bonding him with my other guinea pig, Reggie, but for some reason it's all starting to go wrong. The other night I had both of them sitting on my knee and then with no warning Gus went for poor Reggie. Much teeth chattering followed and so lap time was ended. Tonight I let them out for floor time and all was well until Gus started chattering at poor Reggie and fluffing himself up. Yet again he tried to take a bite out of him. I put Reggie in his cage and went to calm Gus who proceeded to chatter loudly at me and back away with his hackles up (this is not a first he's always been like this). I left him a while then tried again and got the same response at which point I gave up and put him back in his cage. When he's in his cage he won't stay out when I approach his cage but runs into his bed. If I pat him he goes really tense. I thought the fear of humans would be easing by now but it (and the aggression towards Reggie) seems to be getting worse. I had hoped to get them into the same cage but by the way things are going I don't think that's ever going to happen. I'm starting to think he may be better rehomed to a family with no other pigs. Does anyone have any suggestions?
