Hello
So this behavior has been going on for a little bit... I'd say maybe just this week... a week and a half I think.
One of my boars, Flynn, who clearly is the more dominant one, has been humping my other boar. It is not like mounting, no, I can literally see Flynn extrude his penis and jab it into Bramley's rear end repetitively (sorry for the graphic text).
Now, I can assure you Bramley is NOT female. That is what confuses me. Why would Flynn try to mate with Bramley if he knows he's male? Is he in heat? This hasn't been going on for a long period of time and I heard that guinea pigs go into heat every month (I wasn't informed if it's only females that go into heat or if males do as well)... I've only witnessed this I think twice before... those periods didn't last long either. It was either a couple of days or maybe two weeks at most.
Do any of your guys' boars do this? I know it's nothing to worry about really, considering that Bramley can in no way get pregnant from Flynn. However, I'm curious as to see why Flynn is displaying this behavior and if it is seen by other piggie owners.
Thanks a lot!
