  Not Ranked. Helpful AND tactful post? : 0 Re: Introducing 2 new Boars to my single Boar | |
I can tell you that people lie about all kinds of things for all kinds of reasons. It's possible they really thought they had the pigs for 2 years. Seems unreasonable to you or me, but if they didn't place much value on the pigs to begin with, they could have over- or underestimated the time they'd had them. If you have a vet that's experienced with guinea pigs (and as I remember from previous posts you do) s/he might be able to give you an accurate estimate of their ages.
I'd let them work out their dominance issues and resort to a bath if it just seems to be too hard on them. You have to remember, boys will be boys, and they have to work things out themselves. The more you intervene, the more time it will ultimately take for them to establish the order of dominance.
Good luck. I know it's really hard to watch them struggle and bicker and squabble. |
