Hi guys,

Not sure if this is in the right place but here goes. I'm looking at getting a couple of guinea pigs and have found a friend of a friend etc whose guinea pig had 2 unexpected baby boars about 4 weeks ago. :)
I'm going to look at them on Tuesday next week. My question is: as they get on now will they continue to do so or am i asking for trouble if they get all hormonal as teenagers. :{
When would the babies become teenagers? Would there be anything i could do if they didnt get on.
I hope this makes sense!?

thanks x
 
no-one really knows for sure what will happen....
with them being together from birth everything could be fine...or they could fall out during their hormone stage..

If they didn't get on and needed separating, you can successfully reintroduce them to each other again on neutral ground for example you could bath them together however you cannot always reintroduce fallen out piggys.

From your post you've shown you already know that the future is uncertain and they may fight..any piggys can suddenly start to fight, I had a pair of sister, who had a very sudden scrap when they were 2 and didn't get along again til 6 month later!

it's up to you if your willing to take the risk or not, but as said, there is a risk of falling out with any set of piggys

hope this helps! :)

thanks for your help. :) I could always put a C&C set up under the cage and seperate them if i need to. fingers crossed it wouldn't come to that. If they seem ok on tuesday they'll come to their new home on 16 Oct. i'm all excited now. :(|) just need to go cage furniture shopping for toys!:<>
 
the idea of a C&C set up under the cage is a really good idea :D

I love going shopping for my piggys, there's always so many new things I can get for them :))
 
My two little boys Rolfy and Harris, brothers who have been together since birth, get on really well together. Never had any problems. You probably have a high chance of success with your babies. Best of luck. x
 
thanks Nutmg. I'm really excited about getting the babies. its gonna be good to give them a nice home. i'll get pics on here in October as soon as they are settled. x
