Oh they are well over 3 months nearly 1 years and are all fine - SORRY stil thought they were babies - LOL ;D
 
Id say the fallouts do happen at any time, but 3-8 months is the teen time that even brothers can fall out :)

Obviously not all boars will fall out, but those that dont have adequate housing, several food bowls etc etc are more likely to fight :)

Oh right theyve passed that stage now but they do have 2 bowls and 2 hidey places O0
 
Doesnt mean they wont fall out, but if they have got lots of space and a food bowl/hidey house each, it gives you a better chance of them always being together :smitten:

Because I'm selling one baby thats left there daughters have named him treacle - Hes the light golden gouti from sheylanar and ill have to bond him with titch or someone else as i said i dont want them to go alone and they really seem interested :'( 2 is better than 1 right ?
 
well why dont you keep him, and not buy another guinea? He will be much happier staying where he knows, its not nice to sell him, just to replace him with another O0

I have to sell the last baby boar from sheylanar so i said ill let titch go with him as i dont want the baby to be on his own ? :-\ I'm sure theyll be fine unless i split the baby from rasta man to go with the baby I'm selling then rast man will have no company :-\
 
I have just bonded to boars Sparky whose eight months and Tommie whose 9 weeks and it was so strange, I took Tommie over to a rescue in Cumbria and Graham (a member on here O0) put Tommie in a large run and introduced, one at a time another guinea pig to Tommie the first three where babies and Tommie completely freaked out and ran from each yet when he introduced the older boar he completley melted, settled right down and stared stuffing his face.

Since getting them home they have got on like a house on fire I just hope it continues, my concern is that when Tommie gets a bit older there could be a bust up as he decides he wants dominence. They have a large Nero three cage and seperate bowls, water bottle and houses but, they are quite content at the minute sharing a house!

Ahhh bless they LOVE the new company ;D
 
as my housemate had two piggies, we tried to introduce both sets, not to live together, but for run time together, but it didnt happen. the 2 dominant males are just too alike and stubborn, it ended in the little dominant boy trying to mount my big bob, who wouldnt have any of it and tried to bite the little boy,doing everything he could to get to him.

i was sat in the run with them, and grabbed bob straight away and not attempted since.

both the boss pigs are too dominant and alike, that the baby wouldnt back down to bob, so they all have run time seperately.

if bob even catches a whiff of the other piggies, he squeaks constantly until theyre gone ::)
