Your vet is wrong, he's applying the same rule for all species, and guinea pigs just don't work like that.
Male guinea pigs don't even seem to notice when they've been neutered; they still mount females, they still fight each other for dominance etc.
The boys probably won't ever get along well together now, the best thing for you to do, is to get them both neutered and let them live seperately with different females.
Oh, and I live in the UK too. My boys are all rescued; adopted from either shelters, or local people who couldn't keep them for whatever reason.
It really isn't that hard to get a guinea pig without supporting breeding, you just need to have patience, and put the effort into searching around a bit.
Please don't buy from breeders again. Just think; that breeder couldn't have been very responsible if she just gave you, a relatively inexperienced owner, a pregnant pig, could she? |
