Recently I expanded my C&C cage and decided I had enough room and time for a third pig. When I first brought her home, she was about 4 weeks old. The first night, she escaped from the cage and I found her the next morning between the wall and the cage. Luckily a bag of guinea pig food had...

I had the same issue with my newly adopted pigs. The dominance issue got steadily worse, even after expanding the cage to the recommended size (which was bigger than the original size of their cage) and providing one of everything. After 3 weeks, it was at the point that Buttercup would squeal...

what about ebay classifieds? thats where i found my piggies:)

@MrWhistles thats exactly what has happened to my pigs! Suddenly today Minnie just relaxed and is nowhere near as aggressive as she was, though she is acting like your Lady now. My fingers are crossed that that continues. And thank you @ButtersandMimsy. I separated them with grids for two nights...

Ok. Thank you! I did look into ovarian cysts, but she has no hair loss and I see no other signs of ovarian cysts other than her dominance issue and I have only witnessed her mounting once but I will try to take her to the vet as soon as I can. And Minnie will take food from Buttercup's mouth all...

Does anyone have any suggestions for getting my two piggies to get along? I am too scared to put Buttercup in again with Minnie because I have a feeling there is gonna be blood drawn very soon if I'm not there to stop it. If I can't find a solution, I am gonna have to rehome minnie because I...

Yes it is 3 cubes by 2 cubes. And they have much more space during floor time but the bullying happens almost constantly there too so I don't think a bigger cage will make things better, though I am trying to make it larger in the near future anyway. I removed the pigloos and have two tents up...

Are there any other signs of them being in heat or having ovarian or uterine problems?

I currently have two hideys and two spots for hay and separate their veggies, but Minnie will seek out Buttercup at times. Shes also been rumble strutting more and more. It's been a week and though they are getting better with me, Minnie is getting worse with Buttercup. And I'm afraid to...

Fighting escalating and need advise asap! So I posted earlier this week about my newly adopted two year old guinea pigs, who have been together since their previous owner bought them. The bullying has only gotten worse since last posting. I took them both out for floor time and immediately...

Their cage was 3x2 grids but the side with 3 grids I had to cut off about 3 inches to make it fit in my room. If I had the space I would get the biggest cage I could find but it just isnt possible at the moment since my apartment is so small. I know it is less than the recommended size, but I'm...

A few days ago I adopted two female guinea pigs who are almost 2 years old, Minnie and Buttercup. The woman I adopted them from said they were bought together at a petsmart and have been together their whole lives, however, it doesn't seem like they get along. Minnie bullies Buttercup. Minnie...
