Aww pebbles and whilma

Little one is adorable So is Wilma So is sylvester So is mini Ect, ect.

Helpful as always. Thank you and congrats on your very cute piggies.

OMG thank you I needed this ,I got my guinea pig yesterday and they don't stop fighting 😭

Wilma and Pebbles 😢

I've just separated my boy's as one was constantly harassing the other who is poorly at the moment. Not any easy choice but the cages they're in are next to one another so they can still see each other.

What an excellent video Julia!!!! I know when I got my most recent pigs ( 2 rescue boys) I used a lot of these tips because they were fighting and it helped a lot! You covered every tip I found very well! Awesome advice 😀😀😀

This was a really great video! And it was really nice to see Wilma and Pebbels again❤️

The whole time I’m watching there fighting lmao

4:01 Gotta respect that she made the sound track end exactly when the video did 😙👌

Thanks for the help! two of my guinea pigs have been getting into disagreements so i will definitely try these tips!

I have 8 guineas however they live out there in my garden wild and do not like being stroked or picked up but I managed to tame 1 guinea pig and trained it to jump on my lap with food

I tried all you're tips and still my two boys are fighting for blood.

Your voice calms my guinea pigs

Omg thank gosh I watch this channel!!! I've never introduced a guinea pig to other but I just got a new baby pigger to introduce to my two other piggers I've had for a year now. One of the piggers was teeth chattering and chasing the new one and I was very scared at first but after this vid I feel better about it. Thx!!!😁

Great video as always! 😉

Finally This helped alot! Thanks!

I have a pair of sisters, a trio of boys, and 2 boys side by side because they are both very territorial and will bite other piggies and make them bleed.....I have tried bigger cage, more hides, tunnels, beds, etc. but nothing works! They just prefer to be solo piggies I guess!

Thanks for this. I have worried sometimes that one of my guinea pigs was bullying the other, but from your description, what they do sounds like normal guinea pig behavior. I'll try and use these tips as well, just in case.

You're so helpful! And you inspired me to make my own guinea pig videos.

This was so helpful, thank You!👍💙

I saw a bunch of teeth chattering and chasing from my pigs and got worried. Thanks for this video!

Wow this helped a lot! 😊 I have three guinea pigs and they would always fight so I decided to split them all up but when I reintroduce them and did some of the things u said they are getting along better

Thank you so much! I have had some issues with 2 pairs being together, And I think it's because of not enough space. Thank you for making this video, i will reintroduce when I make a bigger cage.

Amazing information and tips! Keep up the great work! ❤️♥️

AHHH Thank you soooo much for all the Guinea Pig tips. Because of you we are going to get one. We’re naming him Dumpling

A lot of useful information! Thanks a lot for your videos! Your piggies are such cute)))

TY!💕

Thank you I needed this. I have two boys and they always fight.

Just what I needed!

Thx so much

Thanks!!!!

Thank you for making this video I just got two guinea pigs and they don’t get along to well so thank you

Early! This helped my pigs alot!

Absolutely enjoying this one. And seriously appreciate the few moments when Sylvester appeared in that vid. :-)

this worked so well for me my guinea pigs were fighting at fist but thank you so much for these tips they helps so much

Early! I love you and your piggies 🤓💜

We've had our boy guinea pigs for about 6 weeks now (they were babies when we got them), and they've gotten along fine until this evening. They've been following each other around a lot, mounting, making a sound different than their normal rumble strut, they've attacked each other a few times but after a while they leave each other alone. We separated them for a short time but they were losing it wheeking and pushing their stuff around and what seemed like they were looking for each other. They seemed really distressed so we put them back together but the same thing. At what point should I be concerned (not that I'm not already 😅) Any advice is appreciated!

I have it where they'll be friends one week, randomly on edge the next week, then back to napping across from eachother all calm

I love your videos so much

My guinea pigs fight badly everyday without having them separated. I think I have about a 3ft by 2 ft cage and I may be able to make a slightly bigger c&c cage if that is necessary. I have also been considering making a RU-vid account about them. Just wondering if you can give any advice

Julia little one is ADORABLE! !!!!!!

thank you

Soooo cute and very helpful

So great to see Wilma :) I miss her !

Very useful

This helps a lot we have 3 males ( Chuck Olly and cal) Olly fights with Chuck and cal so we have to put Olly in a separate cage

God damn they seriously love pea flakes xD

They are so cute

Love it💜💜💜💜

THANK YOU! I recently got my 3rd and 4th guinea pigs and their about 2 months now, we got them may 2nd but they still haven't sorted out dominance.

Thank a lot you helped me so much

Your awesome Julia! Thank you so much! Best RU-vid Channel on earth! I love all your piggies they are so gorgeous! Thanks once again!

Unfortunately, I have to put my piggie up for adoption tomorrow. He's taking chunks of hair out of the other piggie.

I have twins and they hate each other so much one even one of them had a bad eye cuz of her twin and then I have other twins and they love each other so so so so so so so much

This is perfect because today my guinea pigs were fighting . THX FOR THE VIDEO :)

Thank you! My guinea pig hates the other one (maybe because it’s jealous of the affection it gets)

Thank you! My boys are having a fight. It’s seems like it’s nothing serious. I might want to get some new hides though.

Awwww sooo cute 💖🐹

My piggies fight a lot so this helped a lot thx! Nice vid like always

I just stare at them with a mad face and they stop or i boop their noses

Our bonded boys broke up after a year and a half together. Something happened that caused one to get bitten 3 times and the other was bitten on his neck. They are separated but our setup allows them to see, talk, smell and hang out together. Both recovered very well after their vet visit.

Had a pretty decent sized cage for my two male piggies. Introduction was possibly the easiest I’ve ever done after a few hours of being near each other I saw they hit it off so put them together and they loved each other since no chattering nothing. One thing I did do wrong was that I only had 1 igloo for them... the funny thing though they were impossible to separate even after I got a second one they always go into the same igloo and snuggled even with a second one. When one was getting nails clipped or cage was cleaned they’d WHEEEEEK so damn loud lol they were the funniest little pals. Miss them but luckily before I gave them up I made sure the home they went to took them as a pair and still get to see them every few months or so :)

Thanks for the great video! I just got 2 girl guinea pigs and they started out fighting so I had to separate them. But now I think 🤔 I need to follow your tips instead! 😁 thanks

I got a rescue guinea pig yesterday and it attacked them so many times that there were marks blood and tufts of hair. I think It is best to take her back and see if I can find a better fit. My other 3 were so scared of her that they wouldn't go anywhere near her (not even within 1 foot) and if they did she attacked.

One of my guinea pigs is bullying the other, they got a massive hutch but since it’s cold I brought them inside my cage is store bought but compare to other cages my cage is pretty big (ofc not big enough for always keeping them ) the cage is temporary but I also knew one of my piles bulies the other but it happend way more inside now and I’m guessing cuz it’s smaller than the hutch and it’s a new home but my guinea pig alice(who gets bullied) gets nibbled and screams a lot and gets traumatised so whenever I’m petting or picking her up she screams until she realises she is safe and it’s not my other guinea pig

I Really needed this, back in 2015 my guinea pig had 2 kids and one of them was called Lucy, she was absolute violent with her mom and her sister she never let any other piggie get close to her lol, this year the mom died after 8 long years and her sister too and it's just her now and we decided to get another Guinea pig and she cant get along with her either so I'm trying my best

My guinea pigs were fighting until he found out the other guinea pig was a boy 😹😹

RIP Pebbles and Wilmie ❤️ We miss you girls!

aww there so cute :3

I have four guinea pigs (2 set of bonded guinea pigs) 2 of my younger guinea oigs are in a pen together and grew up together ( we got them from an old lady who had pregnant guinea pigs) but my free range guinea pigs go up to the wire alot , and one of my baby guinea pigs really likes them where as the other baby hates them , they have got out a few times and have all gotten in a fight (no one was seriously injured, just a few bites) so I've separated it so they are let out in the garden at different times but now my two babies are fighting

I got one gui ea pig in april but shortly after i realized that he needs a brother. im just kinda scared. thanks for making this video it helped me so much!!

Hello I have a 1 year and 7 months old male guinea pig. He used to have a cage mate the same age as him but passed away around March. When that happened we got another guinea pig, he was obviously 2 months when we got him but they bonded right away. The little one would rely on the oldest one a lot, like a father to put it that way. After like 5 weeks the little one got a UTI and I had to separate them for like 1-2 weeks until he got better, I didn’t want my older one to get an infection too since it’s contagious. During those two weeks I did have both of there cages right next to each other so they were still able to see each other and everyday they would wheek for each other. When I reintroduced them they were a bit iffy but got over it in 2 hours under supervision. They were alright with each other not the same as before but still bonded. After 2 months of reintroduction the little one started getting a little aggressive and wanted to start mounting the oldest. Obviously it’s because he has hit puberty, and the oldest knows that so he’s been patient with him and hasn’t shown no sign of aggression. It’s been two weeks and the little ones aggression has worsened. He’s bitten the older one, he’s pulled hair, grazed him with his teeth that left him with bruising, scrape marks from teeth. The oldest got fed up and bit him on both sides of the cheeks and after that he calmed down a bit. After we came back from a one day trip, the oldest one had a graze mark on his thigh. We’ve bought toys and a new edible house for them but they are still iffy with each other. What should I do? I have 4 guinea pigs already.

Awwwww so cute😘

Just saw Wilma and Pebbles in one shot. Yes, Little One, you were in that too. I would never forget you. How could I?

My 2 boys have a 2 by 4 grid (c&c) cage, they fought for the first time today and they both bled

I love your piggys

I adopted two males in December and when we put them in their pen they were very dominant towards each other I thought it was nothing serious and then the next day I found white fur around the pen so I got a little worried later during the day they got into a bad fight so were separated. They could still interact through the bars but were trying to bite each other through the bars so we got them neutered and neo hated every girl we tried him with. (All four). So he lives alone and my other male has two sisters and the other two girls went to live with my cousins

My boys sometimes have like 7 hideys, because they're cage is so big and the fleece is hard to clean but I clean it and there are only 2 piggies in the cage Domino and Butter Cup, and they are my only piggies and I have so much extra time that I have a hamster named Ginger.

Great

my guinea pigs play tag like both take turns chasing each other

Omg I *Love* Guinea pigs! I have two of my own!

My Guinea pigs just met for the first time, at like 12am, so I didn’t have enough time to let them fight and watch them to make sure its not serious. They’re separated at the moment, but I will try again tomorrow.

I have four piggies now. I got 2, sisters. They love each other and get along swimmingly. Then I introduced a new piggy. (Bella) Luna (one of the sisters) has always been horrible to Bella, blocking food and water supplies, chasing, teeth chattering and even scratched her once and she bled. I tried and tried to play it out but I’ve decided to separate them. Then I got Bella a new friend, Minerva. She is tiny, 12 week old skinny fluffy baby. I thought at first the bonding was going well. Bella is clearly trying to be dominant piggy by chasing and nipping at Minerva who always high squeals very loudly... They’ve been in their cage together for just over 24hrs but Bella is still nearly constantly chasing and nipping at Minerva who is still wheeking loudly. Once Minerva has moved away Bella leaves her alone. They’ve both eaten next to each other. I don’t know whether to split them up or not. The new piggy is so small and skinny it’s hard to tell if she’s lost any weight. I haven’t seen her drink yet so I’ve been wetting the veg so she stays hydrated. No blood between Minerva and Bella has been drawn but she’s just so tiny I’m worried Bella will injure her unintentionally. Advice welcome!! Idk what to do!

My two male guinea pigs keep fighting, once they fought so much one split the others ear open in the middle. The one who often gets bullied gets some scabs and fur pulled out. Yet, they still get along well otherwise. What should I do?

Best pets behind only dogs. I have 5 and their personalities are awesome.

This was so helpful! My guinea pig was bitten and I was scared.

My younger guinea pig scratched my older guinea pigs nose but it was a small scratch, he was bleeding a little but it healed should I separate them?

Your are soooooooo help fulll thank u!

Guinea pig 1: GURLLLLL, HOLD MY EARRINGS Guinea pig 2: Come at meh!! Guinea pig 1: *Wiggles its nose at the other guinea pig* Idk what this was .-.

Ily

My guinea pigs are sisters and they just kind of put their noses up and boop each other in sync and make noises I thought they were being mean but I was just paranoid I gave them a little alone time and gave the ‘beta’ some snuggles and attention and then the ‘alpha me some love and then they were fine I think they just needed some time apart

I have two male guinea pigs and the dominate one is getting fatter while the other more timid one is getting skinner. I have a big cage and two hiding places one for each pig, two separate bowls but the dominate one goes over to the other pigs bowl often, I was told that as long as the skinner one is still eating everything's fine but I'm not so sure. Luckily they don't aggressively fight, and no blood on either one.

My boys haven’t fought since I got them but today they are going at it like crazy small scratch on the smaller ones nose not a big difference

I've got two piggies who used to be Bonded. They pull fur and bite lips or ears Everytime they come a few inches close to each other. This started when we moved-ish. They still kept a regular sized cage, and when we noticed aggression we quickly added a second floor on each side. The second floors had food and water. One piggy was definitely bullying the other, and the vet recommended temporary separation so the other could regain weight. After that, they never wanted to be with each other. They now live in the same sized-ish cage, with no second floor, and a wall of hay between them. They still sleep next to each other, and wheek for food together, but they have so much agression... Any tips?

I have 2 girls and they used to get along until one night I got home and found them with wounds and blood on their backs, the smaller one more hurt. I’ve been keeping them separate and I tried again today and they started being really aggressive again. The usually lick each other and teeth chatter but this was super violent.

My two males have been living together for months now, and then all of a sudden as I was cleaning out their hutch and run, they began to teeth chatter at eachother, I saw them getting defensive and lunging at eachother, I had noticed earlier that morning, one of them had a small red cut on his nose, it was really small but I think it was due to fighting, it's calmed down now but they are still teeth chattering and getting defensive, they have a 2 story hutch which isn't too big, but they have a tunnel connected to another large run, the run is around the size of the end of a king bed, and about half a metre wide, we also let them run around in a pen on the grass every so often, but I really don't want to send them back, though I also can't upgrade the cage as there is no possible entrance to an extension, I think the cage is big enough, but I'm debating whether we need more toys and hidey holes, we only have 1 hidey hole and 2 toys,every night we heat up a heat pad and put it in the really small sleeping area upstairs, it could be that they are fighting over that, but they still seem to fight in the daytime. Any advice?

How long should you give guinea pigs to bound if one wont submit and the other is aggressive? I also have a suspicion the cage may not have been big enough. I have a sow and just got a neutered boar.

I have 2 girls, one about 2 months younger than the other and the older one pulls bunches/clumps of fur out of the other one and snaps at her and it's really irritating me because it hurts my heart to hear her scream and cry like that. and its usually if the younger guinea pig is walking by or is at the entrance to a hidey the older one is at. They have more than enough space in their cage and 4 hideys, one of which is large with 3 entrances/exits that i made with cardboard boxes temporarily to see if that would stop them from fighting. I only see it happen when i'm around or in the cage sitting with them so i'm not sure if it's a jealousy thing or what. but i'm tired of it happening. i've separated them now because of it. but i want them both to have enough space to run around etc.

So I was wondering if c&c cages are good cages for two guinea pigs also do you have any tips on free roaming
