Junior Guinea Pig
In short I have 4 girls who live in two pairs as neighbours. They can see smell and hear each other through the bars and they sniff and talk to each other nicely.
A few months ago I tried to bond them all together which resulted in one girl having her lip ripped open so I separated them into their original pairs.
I went out this morning to open their hutches and give them veggies and I couldn't find one of the girls in her hutch! She had slipped through the separating gate and spent the night with the other girls. None of them had been injured or looked like they had fought.
The one who had slipped through is the submissive of her pair and she was the one who was injured last time. They are all happy in their pairs so maybe I should just leave be but they are all around 4 or 5 and I'm starting to thing ahead to when they start passing over.
Is it worth trying again or leaving them for when dynamics change in the future.
