Hi. I adopted a sick guinea pig from a friend who has neither money nor time anymore for him now that he is ill. I pigsat for him about three times in the past, but this last time I found a mass on his belly and it has turned out to be non invasive mammary cancer. He is 5. He has always been cooped up in a very small cage and all alone, so I decided to adopt him and get him two buddies, which I bought at a pet store. They suggested I get the outgoing piggie and then I fell in love with a small Black and Tan one. Their names are Lightning (5 yr old), Squiggy, dominant male, and Lenny, shy scaredy cat, both babies. From the beginning Squiggy has harassed Lenny to the point that Lenny was bleeding from his ear, and he has a lot of scabs on him which I am not sure were inflicted by Squiggy or previously. They were both in separate glass cages at the pet store. I have decided to let them have playtime together as long as I am observing, but am now keeping Lenny in his own cage for overnight which is in an L shape to the other one. Bought a jumbo C&C cage 2x6 and put Lenny in a Midwest cage that I had bought previously. Now Squiggy chases him pretty much nonstop and Lenny runs as fast as he can and hides. Can I ever dare hope that they could all live together? Going broke on cages, fleece, kitchens, etc.
