Junior Guinea Pig
Hello, so I wouldn’t say I’m worried at the moment, this is more of a advice just in case anything gets worse than it is. We’ve had our boys for almost 3 month now (pet shop piggies so unsure of age) they have adapted to us so so well, they’re so brave, I’ve always thought they’ve had a great bond and there wasn’t a lot of chasing or humping in the first couple of month but it always seemed like Kronk was in charge, however Kuzco is now bigger than Kronk, he was always 50g lighter but he’s slowly overtaken since then Kronk seems to try and hump a lot more and bother him, in return Kuzco has started to lunge at him, this has been happening for about a month, no blood has been drawn and for most of the time they seem to really get on, they eat together and very often sleep together and Kuzco even seems to groom Kronk quite often.
Am I right in assuming this is just normal dominance behaviour and because they got on most of the time that they are fine? At what point should I be concerned? Sorry that this is such a long post for just a general query, it’s just been playing on my mind.
