One of my guinea pigs wont stop fighting with the other

[ceceblueberryluvv]

I have four female guinea pigs. My older two are sisters and the younger two are also sisters. At first they were separated from each other with a barrier but now they're in a together. One of my older ones won't stop fighting with the younger one. I've tried everything I need help

I’m sorry to hear this.

Sadly the bonding hasn’t worked and they are not going to be able to be together. I’m afraid there is nothing you can do as you can’t make them like each other.
Please separate them permanently and keep them as two separate pairs in two separate cages.

When merging two pairs, one dominant in one of the pairs has to lose their position and submit to the dominant in the other pair. This is why the bonding is failing - they don’t like each other and aren’t prepared to lose their status.
