    Hi All, I have just finished the boys buddy bath, and they seem to be alot more settled back in their cage now, I also sprayed everything with vinegar and water to get rid of all the smells, There was a bit of fighting in the tub, but I expected that to happen and broke it up when they got...

    THanks bpatters, I have split the cage as an interim measure, I definitely will not be keeping it this way, I will try buddy baths today and reintroduce and see how it goes, worst comes to worse I will rearrange my cage to care for 2 pairs of piggies

    Hi guys, Just an update. Last night we made the cage bigger to a 2x5, hopefully to give them more room to run. We've also bought 3 fleece tunnels for them to hide and run through and we've taken out the green hidey because it only has one hole. I have however heard the two guinea pigs...

    Thanks Capricex! I'm giving that a go now, I've taken out all the hideys and just put one towel in the corner, They are still fighting a bit, and still biting each others fur in the process, just wondering how much is too much? And if it gets too bad should I separate the aggressor or the...

    Hi Lissie, Thanks for your reply, I don't think I can fit a 2x6 but a 3x4 should fit quite well, We'll go buy some more houses tomorrow and replace the ones without two entrances / cut holes I forgot to mention that when we put all three together, Munchy and Buns (One of the brothers and...
