guinea pig fight

Question
i have had one guinea pig for about a month and recently i got a new one. the guinea pig i have had for a month is fifi and the recent one is butterscotch. every time i hold butterscotch..fifi tries to bite butterscotch..is fifi jealous or aggresive?

Answer
Hi Liz,

My first question is, are they both male or female? If they are male they cant live together and have to be put in seperate cages as they will fight. If they are both females I would say that fifi is angry and jealous about you holding butterscotch not fifi, my cure would be to hold both at the same time so that they know you love them both, or to hold fifi first and then butterscoth. Just experiment and see what happens.
