:red (Sorry, I'm new at this) I've only had my guinea pigs for a week and already I'm confused...

They are 2 brothers and the one cannot move around the cage without skulking and making a machine-gun noise (so confusing!)

Is this a territorial thing or is there something wrong with him? ...his brother's not too fussed about it, just sniffs him and wanders off... should I be worried about them fighting when I'm not around? Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

Thanks,
Rach x>>
 
Unfortunately there's nothing you can do to stop the noise, it is a territorial thing. He's basically saying, 'I'm the man!' to his brother, he is obviously the dominant one. But make sure it doesn't get out of hand and that they start fighting :) If I were you Rachel, I would keep an eye on them for a while, until you are abso- sure that they accept eachother :) You can find out more about dominance and piggie behaviour on : http://www.guinealynx.info/

And many more things!

Thanks guys, was getting myself panicked there... I'll keep an eye on Harry and Marvin until they cool down. The thing is, it's the smaller one making the noise! :{
