ebony+holly pig

i have had my guinea pigs for 3 days and i thought today i would try and start to get them used to me stroking them, so i did and they seamed to like it but when i was stroking the smaller one the bigger one came under my hand and started to head butt my hand , can anyone tell me why she was doing this. thanks
 
Mine one does that all the time its normally because I'm doing something she doesn't want. e.g stoking her when she wants to lick me or stoking her head when she wants her back stoking.
 
Mine do this when they have had enough and want me to stop stroking them. Lennie headbutts me if I am in his way during floortime ;D
 
its just a jealousy thing - even with two guineas theres a peckin order, Merry is the oldest so she's the ringleader for all the mayhem that goes on, I don't mind though :smitten:
 
Sean headbutts me if i stroke wendy! He wont even approach me if wendys not with me, she seems to make him more confident. They've only been together a few days :)
 
Yep agree with the rest of the folks jealousy, they're just like little kids they love to have allll the attention and don't always like to share with their cage mates ;D ;D ;D
Try having one on one side and the other on the otherside of you O0
 
Lol, my young sows do this alot. I think they're just a bit grumpy.
