I'm sorry you had to split up more boy piggies! Reading the comments is interesting, I think there are some valid points about arguments over food, but ultimately you were putting them back into a VERY large cage space, far bigger than the recommended, freshly cleaned out, they weren't apart for very long and they still fought! From having males previously, I never saw the kind of lunging behaviour and I would be very wary to write this off as "normal" - from what you described I think you were right to separate them, for their own safety. Going back, I lost a piggie due to an infected wound on the mouth from fighting, in my mind it's simply not worth the risk. I think the problem here could be that the males can sense the females in the same room - females come into heat every 3 weeks or so, and with a lot of girls the males are constantly being provoked to be the dominant one, causing more confrontations than is normally seen in pairs or groups of males. It is definitely not unusual for males to live very happily in pairs, and groups of males are not unheard of. Rescues have a big problem with too many males, happily bonded, that they cannot adopt out, because people think all males will fight. Males have big personalities yes - but this also makes them more confident, easier to tame, and great companions. 😃😍

I have 3 sets of bonded boars and I've seen it all. I don't think what happened between the two pigs was enough to separate them. Pulling fur isn't enough to prove bonds are broken. Boars can be total assholes to eachother, but unless you see blood - leave them together. They probably fought because of the change of scent in the cage. For example if you didn't wash each grid perfectly, even the walls nearby could smell like the other pigs. Boars are tricky but we need people to love and adopt them too. I have no lady pigs and I love them so much.

I feel like you might’ve overreacted. They didn’t have a chance to figure out whatever needed figuring out.

hey if you don’t want some of your pigs to escape i think you should get grids that don’t have any squares in them that’s what i have for mine and they can’t climb them

@freya312

Just a bit of advice for your dad, chicks need somewhere that they can get out of direct heat because like with the Guinea pigs, too much of a good thing, in this case heat, can be a bad thing. And as you said, chicks are a like guinea pigs and they like to run around, they need a little more space to do so and all of that heat can tire them out. (I know that this was posted a year ago but if people you know decide to get chicks again please tell them) i don’t mean this in a bad way just some constructive criticism

If the males are unneutered Its probably having females in the room that is driving them crazy x

@yasminafriedrich2125 2 жыл бұрын

Are the boys all not neutered? So maybe im thinking for the single boys it would be better to live with girls. If you tried that already then im sorry but i have two neutered boys with 3 girls because i got babys i didnt breed.

Just a rabbit advocate, here to learn about pigs. I really appreciate how much time and effort you spend on your pigs having great lives. I wish more people took the time to educate themselves and get it right. Small pets deserve all the love and effort larger pets get! Rabbits and guinea pigs have similar bonding and de-bonding tendencies. Always best to just seperate them and not take the risk if drama erupts. I've had scents from OUTSIDE upset my rabbits bonds. It doesn't take much sometimes for them to fall out with each other. They could both get a wiff of something bad and blame each other for weeks.

W0W!! Boy guinea pigs got mad drama. Jaja I have 2 boys, Quasi & Poncho, they are brothers and been with each other since birth. They have the cutest relationship together. At night they sleep side by side or yin-yang. They do have their issues from time to time but they know who the boss is among each other.

@Hiiiiiiiii111

I really appreciate you advocating for proper Guinea pig care! My friend has 2 males living in a 9 sq foot enclosure and she has sadly been using harnesses for them in the morning I have tried many times to tell her they are not safe and can hurt their backs and that a playpen is a better option but she is too scared to use one after they jumped out I will show her this video so hopefully she stops using them.

I'm totally with you on those harnesses and the colorful food. Thank goodness for the you tube vhannels that educate people about what good and what's not for the guinea pigs.

I wouldn't advise people not to get males, what I would advise is not to have them in the same room as females.

I love how you stress out over their important relationship drama...better to stress about that than other things.

imagine having 16 ( I think ) got guinea pigs and still taking care of them better than a majority- all actually bc u spoil them <3 - of people! I love your videos!! I’ve only been watching for a few months and finally got a KZfaq channel so now I can subscribe yay! also hopefully their bond can possibly come back together or start a bond with a new pig somehow!

@rosequartz9640 2 жыл бұрын

In the video you separated your two bonded boars, putting one into the carrier. Separating them to reduce conflict has the opposite effect we want. If you allow them to stay together at all times, they will have their initial confrontation over territory and rank and sort it out. This can take a few times on the floor together or wherever new, but it strengthens their relationship and bond. It's scary as a human to witness some of their behaviors, but as long as there is no blood don't intervene. Providing multiple areas for hay access, not just a single hay box is also important for some male pairs. Food is the biggest driving force for territory arguements in my house.
