Firstly welcome to you and your new piggle
Your pig is very young. Too young to be homed (6-8 weeks is the recomended homing age)
He will have not long been seperated from his mum. Make sure hes eating well and not too stressed by all the moving around.

cute pig, great cage...
with the husband saying no to getting another pig...hmmm...you're in a 50/50 relationship, if you want to get another pig, he shouldn't be making a final decision on that, you aren't his child, you're his significant other, sorry JMO...
When I was with my XH, I didn't ask him, I said: "I'd like to get a pet for the kids and have been researching guinea pigs, looks like they'll be a good fit, could you build them a cage?" The whole family went to the pet store and picked out our first two and he took to them quite nicely, we ended up building a 2x4 originally, then we ended up splitting up at the end of 2011, by then we had expanded to 4 sows, I ended up purchasing a cage through a US site, ended up costing me a small fortune, but went to a 2x5 with a 2x2 loft.

Well just looked at Chester and I am 99% sure that Chester is a girl so now I have to get the new one fixed before I can introduce them

Post by bouncer36 on Jan 6, 2014 2:29:51 GMT
Since Chester is a girl I will have to take her back and trade for the one the lady has that has to be the boy I don't want to but her daughter wanted the girl and since her is the male and mine is the girl I have to give her back

Hi the one I had Chester turned out to be the female so I had to take her back to the lady and got the male. So when I got home I introduced him to the other male that I bought to be a friend for Chester and let them meet on neural ground They was rumbling at one another circling each other They tried to mount each other and at one point was eating together then out of no where they both went into igloo house and had a little fight they both came out and one had a ear bleeding. What do I do now can they ever be friends in the cage? Because I don't have room for another cage

Post by bouncer36 on Jan 8, 2014 3:31:31 GMT
I took out the hides until I can get two
I took both out and cleaned the cage and put fresh bedding in then washed each other's but so they would both smell the same been doing better since. One will chase scooter will chase dexter(white) But no more fight so far They have even pass one another without chasing I have seen them eat together. How soon will I know if they have bonded? And what signs should I look for

If they're doing better without hideys then you don't need to put any in. They can hide in a big pile of hay if they want to.

Congrats on your piggies. Glad they're getting along better. They have a nice big cage. We just have one guinea pig named Jerry. Even though he's the only pig, he seems happy. He loves hanging out with my cat Morris (with supervision of course) They even enjoy grooming each other.
