Nelly and Holly my 2 sows are seeming to fight again. Nelly would stick her nose into Holly's butt fur and 'nose around' and climb on her back a little. She would almost chase Holly around trying to get her nose into Holly's fur. They chatter their teeth too. I checked them both, they are...

Hi everyone, So I noticed that Nelly (one of my cavies) was chewing/grinding her teeth when my hand went across her back in a pat. Is this normal? When she had her checkup a little while ago, the vet said that her teeth were slightly too long. Nothing serious. So I added in another hay rack...
