separation...

[midgetdesi]

My BF mothers pig lilly is due to deliver any day now. At there house they have frank and lilly. When lilly delivers, I get frank and any "male" babies.Right now I have on my own, pepe and wheeze. pepe is a male and wheeze is a female who's blind and about 4 years old. I will give wheeze to my BF family. I am just worried, pepe and frank fight when ever they are together. They are about 4 months a apart and there wasnt any females around. What should I do? They want the females, I have no choice other then to take the males, and i would hate to split the cage.
thanks

Making sure the cage is an adequate size for however many pigs there are is the most important thing you can do https://www.guineapigcages.com/. Males especially need their own space - it's when they can't get it that avoidable conflict usually breaks out.

Have a look at this section on introductions https://www.cavyspirit.com/sociallife.htm#Introductions - tells you how to introduce them and how to recognise things aren't going so well (even when things are going well it can be pretty frantic!). Until you get the pigs together, you won't know how they'll get on, but it's always best to be prepared for the fact things might not go as well as you hope.

Here's a great page in sexing the bubs, and on when to separate them, should anyone need any help https://www.cavyspirit.com/sexing.htm.

Good luck.
