Teenage Guinea Pig
Got a bit of a dilemma with the girls. Ariel lost a load of weight and had her checked and they couldn’t find anything physically wrong to cause the weightloss so put it down to maybe the others are bullying her as she’s always on her own and doesn’t really seem to bother with the others much. So the last 2 weeks I’ve been getting her out everyday and feeding her on her own to try and bulk her up and give her sometime alone in the playpen where she seems happy pattering about on her own and eating hay forage and veggies. But when we put her back in with the others she just freezes up. So I sat watching them the other night and it’s Aria that is the she devil. Every bit of hay Ariel went to eat she pulled it from her when I put the veggies in every bit Ariel had she grabbed from her mouth But it looks like it’s not just Ariel as Aria chased Avery around and pulled out chunks of her fur. I’m stuck what to do. I took Aria out and put her in the playpen so the others could have a break. I thought at first of putting Ariel into a separate cage and getting a new friend for her, then I thought perhaps I should now put Avery or one of the others with her although they don’t seem close. Or do I take the she devil out or just leave them as they are and hope it doesn’t get any worse Sorry for the long post and thanks if you got to the end
