New Born Pup
Hello, I brought home a 2nd male Guinea pig. I had them in a neutral territory last night for several hours, lots of chasing the Peanut (the larger of the two) mounted and humped Nugget (the new guinea pig) quite a bit. Raised haunches and some raised heads with teeth showing, but no actual fights!
I left them in the neutral territory overnight with hay and water. I’ve been awake about 30 minutes and there was a bit of chasing and “testiness” but now they are laying down about a foot from one another (Peanut originally layed down as far away from Nugget as he could but when Nugget came over to lay down closer to him he remained in his spot).
Is it okay to now move them to the C&C cage? They don’t seem to love one another and while I have done lots of reading from on here, I’m having a hard time telling whether or not the bonding worked or not since I know boars can be test-y in general. Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
