Do guinie pigs fight for dominance?

yes, but there are some exeptions. like if your 2 male/femail (if you don't want babys this is best) guinie pigs have been to gether since you adoped them and they've been in the same cage, then cances are they won't sudently turn on each other. but if one has made a home of the cage (urinated/ had a B.M.) then yes they will. to avoid this simply, wash the cage from to bottom, then bleach the cage, then do a wash to get the bleach out then rince the cage completly. this inshures that all of the one ginuine pigs smells are gone, after all that feel free to add another guinie pig, but make shure to daa them at the same time.if you do want baby guinie pigs then one male and up to 5 females. this way they wont be competing for a mate.
