Pablo which is the older one just sometimes circles around Pedro (small one) but today when I tried placing them together Pablo started to attack him and the other piggy won’t do nothing back he’ll just run away so right now I have them separated but they can still interact with each other but Pedro is new so he is scared to come out of his hide so should I first gain Pedro trust then bond him with Pablo also when Pedro comes out of his hide Pablo starts to pure when he sees himAre they being aggressive? E.g. biting, lunging, hissing etc?
Or are they just rumbling? As that can be part of the normal bonding process whilst they establish who’s in charge. My very well bonded boys still do it now and then.
Unfortunately not all piggies will like each other and it’s not as easy as just introducing a new pig
Have you had a read of the bonding guides?
Behaviour, Bonding & Bereavement Guides
As said above (by our experts) have a look at the guides. They will either get along or they won’t. Nothing you do will change that, it all depends if their personalities match.Pablo which is the older one just sometimes circles around Pedro (small one) but today when I tried placing them together Pablo started to attack him and the other piggy won’t do nothing back he’ll just run away so right now I have them separated but they can still interact with each other but Pedro is new so he is scared to come out of his hide so should I first gain Pedro trust then bond him with Pablo also when Pedro comes out of his hide Pablo starts to pure when he sees him

Ok ok so my last question is how will I know that they like each other and if that happens can I put them in a cage together right away or do I have to give it time
Please keep your posts to the same thread. As has already been mentioned, purring is normal. The young one just wants to be with the older one.Right now I’m bonding my two guinea pigs and I was looking and the oldest one is walking around and purring while the little one is just following him everywhere he goes is this some sort of dominance
