If one guinea pig is not accepting another guinea pig in their territory, it's best to separate them and gradually reintroduce them in neutral territory. Provide separate living spaces with no direct contact but close enough for them to see and smell each other. Monitor their behavior and slowly reintegrate them once they show signs of acceptance.
You have 2 female guinea pigs what does it mean when one mounts the other?
Mounting behavior in guinea pigs is not always related to mating. It can be a way for one guinea pig to show dominance over the other or establish hierarchy within their social group. If both guinea pigs are female and not in heat, it's likely a display of dominance rather than a mating behavior. If the behavior becomes aggressive or one guinea pig seems distressed, it's best to separate them and monitor their interactions.
Which gender of guinea pigs are mean or meaner?
Both males and female guinea pigs are great. It all really depends on the individuals personality, so if you want a friendly guinea pig, you should search for that and get a guinea pig that is friendly. But if you are getting 2 guinea pigs, you shouldn't really try to get 2 males as they (males) tend to fight. Usually a male and a female or two females will get along well. == == Hope I helped!

Do siblings guinea pigs eat each other?
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).

Do you have to quarantine you guinea pigs when you first get them?
No, they are absolutely fine.
Can you add a guinea pig to a cage that already has a guinea pig?
Absolutely!!! Guinea pigs love company.HOWEVER they must both be the same sex because guinea pigs are too small to neuter and even if they don't get along the female will probably end up giving birth to a litter of at least 1-4 babies.Double check the sex of the guinea pig you have and if you want another double check, if you're getting one from a pet store or a friend, it's sex.Also two females usually get along better than two males, (not always the case). I would recommend you avoid two males and a female. They might fight.
