In the wild, guinea pigs do kill other guinea pigs. The reason is usually because two males are arguing over a female. The males both want the female so they have a fight to the death. The winner (the one that is alive in the end) gets the female. This could happen in your home if you have males and females in the same cage. The chances of that are very, very small. Males also just fight for dominance. My two males often fight when i put them together, but when in separate cages they talk to each other and act as best friends. If you wish to put two males together, purchase them when they are both young and emidately join them in a single cage. You can also buy two males that were in the same cage at the place you purchased them from. So that sums up that guinea pigs do kill their own kind, but usually the males are the ones killing (and dont forget this is rare at your home and can be very easily be avoided).

∙ 13y agoOf course! Guinea pigs are extremly social and will probably be sad and die early without a companion. Just make sure they are both the same gender! A girl and a girl usually get along better than a boy and boy. My guineaa pigs lived happily. And do not trust pet store employees who do not look like they know what they're talking about. FAct: Guinea pig babies are born with all their fur, and eyes open. tehy are like mini hamsters!

It's mostly male guinea pigs that are likely to attack each other because males are more aggressive toward each other. Guinea pigs don't have to be related and they sill don't fight. I have many piggies and none of them fight. Other then that guinea pigs are really cute, friendly,and cuddy animals.
