hi! i got two male guinea pigs about two months ago (Ivory and Ebony), and they seemed to be fighting from the get-go. I decided it must be a dominance thing and assumed it would eventually stop. Last week, i saw them having a proper fight, and Ebony had bitten Ivory! I separated them, and a few days later tried reintroducing them in a neutral territory, but Ivory pulled a large chunk of hair out of the other. They do still live in separate cages, but Ivory frequently manically chews on the cage bars, as if to try and get to Ebony. Ebony seems unbothered. They cannot see each other, but when they get closer together, they both start chattering their teeth, as if they can smell/hear the other.
I don't want them to have to live separately, but I don't know what to do! Does anybody have any suggestions?
