Help!!!!!!!!

[lindsey's boys]

I recently got a new guinea pig. I was assured it was a male (I think only a few months old). So we brought him home and showed my other male guinea pig. They sniffed each others cheecks (which I told my mom was good). We now have them in the same cage and the guinea pig I had longer is "rumbling" and moving his head from side to side. I need to know if this is a sign of dominance or if my new guinea pig is really a "she" and not a "he".

you should post this in the general chat section.

I've moved it.

That's normal introduction/ dominance behaviour, but if you're not 100% sure about the sex, separate them until you are. This page should help https://www.cavyspirit.com/sexing.htm, or it might mean taking them to the vet (get him/ them a general check up while you're there) or asking someone who is more experienced with sexing guinea pigs.

Read this page https://www.cavyspirit.com/sociallife.htm for more information on what is normal when you introduce two pigs, and how to maximise their chances of getting along.

Good luck!

Thanks Treen.

Its just that not everyone reads stuff at the bottom of the page. I wasent trying to be rude. I made a mistake, cavy chat not general. Oops, sorry. I'm only 16 so I dont really know what your age has to do with anything.
