Hello(:

Hi, everyone! I'm new to the forums, but, have been browsing here for a couple of months now. My name is Gabriel, or Gabe, and it's my first time owning a guinea pig. I got my first guinea pig, Blaze, about five months ago. She's great and all, sometimes still a little skittish, shy, and I guess scared. She eats well, drinks her water, has the proper amount of Vitamin C intake, and loves her veggies. Researching and learning a bit about guinea pigs beforehand, I figured that I would get Blaze a companion. Blaze is a female cavy, so I knew to get another female. I bought Blaze, so I wanted to adopt my next one. I adopted her a couple hours ago, and seem to be having some trouble. Mostly with the introducing part. I gave her some time alone to get used to the surroundings and whatnot, so I figured time to introduce Blaze to her. I gave them their room in a C&C enclosed cage, putting them at opposite ends. At first, they didn't seem to notice, or maybe just didn't care for the other's presence. After a bit, they did notice, and Blaze approached my new piggy. They did the sniffing, around the butt area too, and after a bit, the mounting started. My newly adopted piggy, who I have yet to name, is larger than Blaze so she was trying more, and Blaze was sort of resisting. So, they basically were going in circles trying to see who would eventually be able to get on top. Afterwards, is when I started getting worried. I knew and read about the whole dominance thing, but between them, I was a little afraid. There starting to be the teeth chattering, or whatever it's called, and some fighting, I guess, but I made sure to break them up when it seemed bad. I let them be again, there was still chattering and then they went at it again. This second time seemed bad. There was some hair loss on both ends, and what really worried me, was that the new cavy got a little injured. Her lip it seems (Maybe a little to the side of it), was a little bit or scratched, and it got kind of cut. It wasn't dripping blood, but there was a little beneath the wound. I applied a little flour though, to increase the clotting speed. I just want to ask you guys and gals here, where do I go from here? I don't believe it to be a life-risking injury. Also, do I try to introduce them again tonight? I wanted to place them in the same cage tonight, as the pet store I adopted from said that the new cavy was very sweet and had been living with another one there and was fine. I'm just afraid one of them could get injured. Sorry for the whole huge paragraph, hope you guys can help. Nice to meet everyone.
