New Born Pup
Hi! I recently adopted 2 guinea pigs. I got Ivy (1 month old) from a pet store, and rescued a 4 month old guinea pig named Hope about a month ago. They are both females. Hope was found left in her cage in a garbage can
and no one knows what happened to her before that, but appears perfectly healthy. When I tried to introduce them in a neutral space, Hope immediately became pretty aggressive towards Ivy and has continued to be aggressive the entire month I’ve had them both. At one point, Hope bit Ivy so hard that she had to go to the vet. I separated them after that. I have done hours upon hours of research, but I cannot find a reason why she is acting like this. When she isn’t with any other Guinea pig, she is perfectly calm and cuddly, but when Ivy comes near her she bites her. She also doesn’t display any signs of aggression before this usually, no teeth chattering, no rumblestrutting, and no yawning. I had 2 male Guinea pigs before them ( they unfortunately passed away) so I am familiar with how they act. I love them so much and I just want them to be the happiest pigs they can be! Please help me! I am desperate
