Question

I have two male guinea pigs that I bought together from the store about a month ago. Everything was fine until a week ago when they started chattering teeth and fighting. I had to separate them. Any idea why this is happening or how to fix it?

Re: Question

Do you have any idea how old they are?
It could be piggy puberty.
How big is the cage? How many hidey houses are in their?
They could be getting territorial, Or just trieing to find out who's domiant.

Re: Question

Too be safe, hidey houses need to have more than one exit. That way if the dominant one corners the other, it has an escape route.
