Panchito & Fisgon's Dad.
Junior Guinea Pig
Sadly as it sounds, my two 16 months old male boars got into a fight.
I've had them since they were 4 months old and never got into a full fight, they teeth chatter, pee each other or rumble strut from time to time, but never got into fights, not even when being on small places (When taking them to the vet or when we traveling on car).
My girlfriend was changing their fleece linners and apparently they both were fighting for a hidey (firstly just teeth chattering), then they got into a full fight that ended quite quickly (around 5s) fortunately no one was injured, the boss guinea pig pulled a bit of hair from the submissive one, then he started screaming like crazy (we firstly thought he was injured but checked him and was ok) and they both ran away. Recently the submissive one was a bit hormonal and was humping the bossy one but he didn't seem to care until now.
We decided not to fully separate because they didn't draw blood and they seem to be ok now that we already cleaned their enclosure and they have their hideys in place. They are eating hay together like nothing had happen.
Should I separate them for a few weeks, or where they lucky enough that they didn't draw blood from each other
.
PS: The bossy one is panchito (dark brown) and his brother (fisgón)
