First of all, don't beat yourself up about this. You are a great piggie parent and are trying to do the best for your boys. You couldn't have known it would get that bad that fast. You were trying to leave them together.

Second, I would highly suggest you not jump into adopting another guinea pig. Maybe if you wait a while until the boys are older, you might be able to try introducing them again.

Third, I would highly recommend building stacked cages. That way you can have more space for yourself and the piggies still get nice big cages. I used connectors and drilled holes in them - then put a long bolt through to stagger the cage height so there would be a space between my two cages. Also, if you have your cages stacked, if you DO decide to get a female friend for one piggie (and have him or her altered of course) then she is less likely to cause any problems with the other boys.

I really do hope things work out that you can reunite your boys. It's such a rough time as they go through puberty. Hopefully things will settle down!!! Keep us updated please!!!
