Hi Everybody,
I've come begging a little wisdom! I got my first pair of Guinea Pigs last week, they have a 1.5m cage and multiple hides and toys and plenty of food and water.
I'm pretty sure that this is normal but I'd like to check as I can't stand the thought that one of them being bullied. One boy is rumble strutting and mounting the other pretty consistently the other one isn't letting him mount but skittering off and doing a kind of high pitched chittering back at him.
Is it normal and how long might this go on for?
Also I'd like to give them floor time but they aren't confident and they don't trust me yet, would it be more detrimental than beneficial to give them floor time at this point?
I would be very grateful for any input
