Junior Guinea Pig
So, long story short, we lost one of our boars last year and popped Len into a rescue to be bonded. He initially bonded well with Ron but then, as per our previous threads, they fell out big time and some big bitey fights broke out. After some time we gave up trying to bond and put them in cages next to each other. Long story short again, we have been giving them floor time with each other for some time and in the last few months not had any antics. Both the boys seem very happy for 1hr plus floor time, piggy trains and harmony. We are now wondering if we should take the divider out and try again? It seems like the sort of blood drawn chunks out of face fights we had before would mean they couldn't be buddies again but floor time seems to suggest otherwise? Is it worth a go or would we risk what we already have?
P.s. bonus weird question: Len seems to have a weird reaction to a scratch. If we pat him normally in his cage, he's non-reactive. If we give him a light scratch he does this odd thing where he bites whatever is near him/jiggles around. We can't work out whether he really likes it, or hates it? He never tries to move away (like he does with an unwanted pat) or teeth chatters like he does with anything else he doesn't like Does anyone else have a piggy that does this?
TIA
