Hi! Okay so I've looked all over and haven't had any luck finding what I need.
So I have Two Females (skunkuh & peaches) who have been together since they were babies there going on two soon.
I decided to adopt another female guinea pig (Marlee) (who is almost 3) on Thursday.
It took me two times to introduce them.
The first time didn't go so well, I put them all in a neutral area with some carrots and hay.
It started off okay , My dominant one didn't seem to mind the new piggie, she sniffed her a few times and just minds her own.
As for peaches, she kept chasing her and nipping her, I broke it up and there would be some fur from Marlee in peaches mouth.
So I put them back in there clean original cages and separated them for the night.
I read putting them all in the bath together then trying again in a neutral area.
It went fine, there was some on going teeth chattering between Peaches and Marlee, but they worked threw it, I let them do there thing for a couple of hours and decided to try them together in the cage, ( I have two c&c cages connected with a ramp to get from one to another.) And at first it was okay, until Peaches decided to come near Marlee or Marlee would wander around near Peaches.
& then again some serious teeth chattering and peaches would then chase Marlee around & try nipping her.
Mean while (skunkuh) is just hanging around eating some food minding her own.
Is there anyway I can get this to stop? Marlee seems upset and really has just stayed in her hidey.
She tried exploring my guinea pigs original cage, ( Which has been completely de-scented) and peaches just chases her out.
Now, it seemed to be okay for a little while because there were all hanging in the same cage area and there were no problems.
Then once again teeth chattering and chasing & attempting to nip.
I don't want it to become serious, I just want them to get along.
What can I do?!
