I think we need a little more info.

What size cage do you have them in? Do they live together?

The squirming and aggresion could be caused by mites. Have you taken them to a vet recently for a check-up? It would be a good idea to do so. If it's mites then no amount of advice will fix the problem until the mites are gone.

One other thing. Please use proper capitilization and punctuation in your posts. The way you typed this post was very hard to read. Please go here for more info about our posting rules. https://guineapigcages.com/forum/announcement.php?f=27&announcementid=7

It could be mites or lice or just general stress. Pay attention to any increase in scratching. Two of my male pigs starting fighting and when I looked closely at their fur, it was crawling with lice. They could also be fighting due to lack of cage space. How big is their cage?

If he doesn't want to be held, I'd say, you should respect that and put him down. Biting is his only defense.
