guinea pig fighting? bloody nose and mouth

[kalrik]

I always thought my guinea pigs got along so well. I have never seen fighting, but right now I am holding my baby and she's got a bloody scratch on her nose and a scab on the corner of her mouth. I am going to stop feeding them apples now in case she's got acid sores, are there other things I shouldn't give her?

So what should I do? I don't want to separate them at all. She's my little 2 and a half month old one and I am so upset she's getting picked on.

Poor thing. Here are some cleaning solutions that can be used on the wound:

I wouldn't separate yet. They'll figure it out.

Oranges are also very acidic.

Same thing happened to me but one other guinea pig bit his ear and now he has a hole on his ear (wonder if i could get him a ear ring) and after that he has never been near another guinea pig.

I am so bummed, I feel bad for her, and wonder what she has to go through everyday. haha. If the marks get any worse, I am separating them, unfortunately.

What all are you feeding her? I can't really know what to tell you not to feed her if I have no idea what she's getting now.

I don't think it's what I am feeding her. I feed them apples less than once a week, and no citrus fruits. I think she's getting picked on, honestly. I am going to stop feeding the apples though. Any suggestions about her being picked on?
