We just purchased our super cute piggies the other night. We've never been pet people but my son had the classroom guinea pig over Christmas and we all fell in love. Now we own two boys! They were originally bought from a breeder. The family we adopted them from had them for 3 months, I'm guessing they're about 4 months old? I did a ton of research before getting into this, so right off I knew their cage was WAY to small. Funny because the owner told me the cage was big! it's about 1 1/2x2'... We are buying materials to build tomorrow. Anyhow, she also said the pigs don't fight... Wrong again. They fight constantly. I'm wondering if it's the change to our house? The teeny tiny cage? I just saw a thread on pig puberty? When do I worry? We're trying to build fast but do I need to come up with another accommodation in between?
Thanks!
Thanks!
