New Born Pup
Hi there,
So my partner and I have recently bought two guinea pigs. One female, around 5 months old, and one male, roughly 8 weeks old. The female, for whatever reason, is completely afraid of everything. We have a little wooden hut that they both tend to sleep in, but she will not venture out, especially when there are people around. The male started out confident, coming out for food and playing around doing zoomies, but now he seems to have become timid too. We have also recently noticed that the female has scratches on the back of her neck. Any helpful suggestions on how to change their behaviour, and why it appears he is attacking her, would be greatly appreciated.
