It's really easy to tell when to guinea pigs are attacking each other.

1. They continually chatter their teeth.

2. The hair, (especially neck) is raised.

3. Hard nips.

4. Stamping their feet.

5. "Yawning"...they are actually showing their teeth. Watch out! An attack is very close.

Make sure that you separate them with a towel before they draw blood.

I'd recommend reading the above link, it is very helpful.

1) Constant chattering of teeth

2) Raised hair, especially around their necks, making them seem larger than they actually are.

3) Constant hard nips, causing the submissive guinea pig to cry out. Make sure this is indeed happening, remember guinea pigs can make a noisy fuss, even though they haven't been nipped. This noisy behaviour is telling the dominant guinea pig "I want to be left alone" If your not sure, check for any wounds.

4) Stamping their feet from side to side making them rock, looking very stiff with their movements. This isn't the same as a guinea pig rumblestrutting. This type of behaviour is aggressive behaviour, accompanied with chattering teeth and prehaps a wide yawn. In this situation, a guinea pig isn't yawning because they are tired, they are showing the other opponent their teeth. All this behaviour is usually the last behaviour before they fly at each other. You need to try and intervene before this happens.

5) Flying at each other, they have gone into battle mode, you need to separate them immediately if not before. Much damage can be caused, blood can be drawn, so never leave them together. When the dominance behaviour gets this far and blood has been drawn, there isn't much hope of them resolving their differences.

My hamsters are squeking and fighting i think are they trying to have a baby or are they fighting?

it depends if they are two boys, girl and a boy, or two girls. if they are two boys then they are fighting because when they get to a certain age they get VERY teritorial(i know from first-hand experience). if they are a boy and a girl then it could be either way. and if its two girls then i dont know. ask a hamster person or something.
