I'm intrested to know whether you guys think boars or sows get along better when kept in groups/pairs as my two boys had to be kept seperately for 90% of their lives due to fighting. :cIt really varies on the guinea pig's personality, and relationship with the other(s). I have two girls, and two boys and all of them are related. The mother is with the daughter, and the father is with the son. And, it's been like that for two years now. During this time, I've really noticed that the girls tended to be more aggressive towards each other, and the boys were more calm, and mellow. My two girls always tug on food like a game of tug and war, and are always fighting over food. My boys on the other hand just kind of take what's theirs, and run to the other side of the cage not bothering each other until they're finished. But, this is just my experience of my guinea pigs living in groups. So, if your guinea pigs were related, then it must have been just their personalities. If they weren't, then it's more possible that that was the problem. But once again, that's just my experience. :)
- Thank you very much for replying!
Yes, before I bought my two we were told boys get along better, however, obviously, that didn't quite work out XD
They were brothers so I guess it was just their personalities :/
