Hi there!
I’m looking for some advice about my two male guinea pigs, both around 15 months old. We’ve had them for around 6 months and they’ve been getting on well, other than your standard dominance behaviours which I’ve read about on here.
We put them with someone for holiday boarding, the first time we did this they were fine with no issues and behaving completely normal. We did it for a second time over the last few days and they started being very aggressive and escalated into fighting with the boarding place. The only change we can find really is that this time there were a female pair in the cage next door. The boarder separated them and tried to use common ground to re introduce them but it wasn’t working.
We’ve brought them home early and put them back into their enclosure but the fighting started again which is very unusual. We split the CC cage in half but they were being aggressive towards eachother through the divider so they are now in separate rooms overnight. Any advice on how to re introduce them? Could the nearby females cause this fighting? Is this temporary?
Thanks!
