Hey sorry guys, I wasn't entirely sure where to post this so i just took a shot and I'm posting it here :) sorry if i posted it in the wrong place..
okay so i have 2 female guinea pigs, Meeka and Kali. i introduced then a few weeks back (kali is about 5 weeks older than meeka) and they seemed fine, they only had arguments when one of them would try getting into the others igloo or when they sniffed their butt. Only recently, Meeka has been really moody with Kali, like she has been rumblestrutting towards her and chasing her around while snifffing her butt, which Kali hates :L Kali has chattered her teeth at Meeka a few times when she gets really annoyed. There has been no bloodshed at all and no nipping that i've seen
i dont need to separate them do i?
Is Meeka in heat?
How long will it last?! its driving me absolutely insane!
I'm a new pig owner, please help! :D
thank you :)

P.S Meeka is 13 weeks and Kali is around 18 - 25( not exactly sure on her exact age as we got her from the pet store)
 
Do not worry. This is perfectly normal behaviour. If you go to the stickys in the behaviour section you can read up on sow behaviour to understand more.
