Am beginning to wonder whether reading everything on here is a good idea! Starting to turn into a nervous wreck.
Got my two boys about 14 months ago. Posted in the "Boars Dominance thread about my experiences of their teenage stages. And until now have assumed i was through the worst of it and that they were now settled as a pair, barring the odd little "go on, just try it pal" moment. that quickly blows over.
Am now starting to worry that there is still a likliehood of them having a major fallout.
A couple of nights ago, whilst I was in the other room, could hear the definite sound of a cardboard box being knocked aside as one or other of them dashed to the safety if one of the piglu's. When I went to check Barney was looking a bit sorry for himself and refused to leave the piglu even for a yoghurt drop.
However next morning, both were again eating from the same food bowl, and then rushed towars me for the morning sultana.
I figure this is all pretty normal behaviour.
I deliberately go two in the first place as everything I read beforehand said guinea pigs liked company - well you'd never have thunk it, reading some of these threads!! :(|)



 
Guinea pigs of either gender can have fall outs at any time; it is rare in adults, but it does happen.

What you came across was probably just a scuffle; like humans, piggies can get into quarrels over something, especially as they were back to normal next day.

PS: Please do NOT give them yoghurt drops - it is the equivalent of junk food for piggies, containing dairy AND lots of sugar which is both bad for them!

There are lots of tips for healthy treats for piggies:

Hehe my two like to have a squabble occasionally, and it can come from either of them. It's usually cause one wants to play or cuddle with the other, but the other wants to be on their own and tells them to go away :(|)

Poppys makes me laugh too, when she tells pebbles to go away, she does a long puuurrr and stiffens her bosy until pebbles backs off.

And when pebbles wants to go where poppy is- she'll budge her out the way and throw poor poppy out ")
