Hi all,
I just introduced a new guinea pig to my all female herd. She’s 3 years old, I have two 2yos and one 1yo. They have all been together since they were babies.
The introductions went well, so I decided to leave them together in the cage. However, I’ve noticed the new guinea pig (Dinah) is chasing and mounting one of my other guinea pigs (Petunia.) They are both 100% female.
I’ve seen my guinea pigs mount each other when they’re in heat before, but never this intensely. Neither of them has been injured, but Dinah has been very persistent so far.
Is this normal?
Thanks.
