Hi! I'm new here and I really need some help. Two days ago I got two female 2yr-old guinea pigs from craigslist. The lady could not keep them anymore because her husband was allergic. Their nails were extremely long when I got them, she claimed she couldn't handle them for that. The first thing I noticed when I got them was that they both try to bite each other and charge at each other a lot. I've only had baby guinea pigs, so I'm not sure if this behavior is normal. When I assembled the C&C cage and put the girls in it, I notice that they teeth chatter at each other almost constantly. Even at me! It's pretty clear that the girls don't like being together. I have them in a 2x3 grid cage with a 1x2 loft. The cage they were originally in was 2x4 with a loft, but I live with my parents in a very small room in a mobile home, so I can't really make it the same size. I am planning on moving out soon and making two C&C cages as big as I can for all four all my pigs. The lady did tell me that they don't really get along, so I'm not thinking it's the smaller cage. Any suggestions?? Thanks!
P.S. The girls haven't touch their food at all since they have been here, only hay. They just started drinking their water today. Also I think Gracie's weight might be a problem. Any suggestions for a diet as well?
