Keep going with the supervised visits - you're on the right track! I'd also try increasing their cage space, giving them multiple hideaways/food bowls, and more room to take a break from each other if needed.Alice CaliCavyhttp://www.calicavycollective.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056227010256723048.post-53364124056407120702015-03-01T22:37:30.784-08:002015-03-01T22:37:30.784-08:00Poor girl, it must have been quite a shock for her...Poor girl, it must have been quite a shock for her (even though the babies do sound adorable).

I want to make sure there is plenty of space for the added family member. :-)Tennille Egeanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056227010256723048.post-8520610007667713812015-03-01T22:37:15.726-08:002015-03-01T22:37:15.726-08:00Mu-Xi turns four this year and her 8 year old cage...Mu-Xi turns four this year and her 8 year old cage mate died last month. I found a guinea pig half Mu's age at the Humane Society, but turns out she was pregnant. Now we have tiny little babies all running around while Mu-Xi tries to keep her composure. I didn't mean to put Mu-Xi through so much after Chai died. So much so soon. Mu-Xi hasn't lived in a group in a few years.Lalahttp://stopandeattheflowers.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056227010256723048.post-23745693492265760542015-03-01T22:37:14.728-08:002015-03-01T22:37:14.728-08:00I have took my piggie to a rescue and paired him w...I have took my piggie to a rescue and paired him with several until we had a match. The new one was younger. All has been fine. Recently, after about 3 months the have stated fighting. Teeth chattering etc, I tried a buddy bath; I tried putting a divider between them; but the little one tried every way possible to get through the divider. I finally seperated them; but left them close. I gradually try to place them in a big play area and sit and monitor them; but almost instantly it starts. The smaller seems to be the agressor. I let them be, I don't rush to seperate, but do so when I see it might escalute. What do I do? What happened? They were perfectly bonded.
