hi guys, So right now I have a single guinea pig who is very dominant and also a bit aggressive. Heres some back story on her. I Had 2 guinea pigs and then I decided to add a third to make a trio, So, I went to a rescue and got a new female guinea pig, I tried to bond the new One (Cookie) to my other 2 girls and bonding was pretty rough there was a lot of fighting, but it all settled down and they were living together for like 2 or 3 weeks but then the fighting started again. Cookie was the main aggressor and she ripped half of my guinea pigs ear off, so I separated them and the after a couple of days I re introduced them using a buddy bath and then that introduction went fine but the next day Cookie ripped a hole in my guinea pigs lip. Cookie was only aggressive towards my dominant guinea pig , not my submissive one, so I was thinking about getting a baby guinea pig to pair with her, She is currently all alone in a 2x5.5 C&C cage. Do you think it is a good Idea to try her with a baby or should I just leave her alone for little bit and see how she does? Also I looked at every rescue within 100 miles of me , And also every rehoming website and there are no baby guinea pigs available so, should I wait to see if potentially a guinea pig comes up for adoption or should I just get one from a pet store ( I am very, very against pet stores but I know of one that breeds their own guinea pigs so I guess thats less bad than an animal mill but still worse than adopting) I don't know what to do because I don't want to keep her alone but I also don't want her to potentially Injure another guinea pig. Any advice would be helpful thanks
