Introducing younger guinea pigs

21 14:11:16

Question
I have 2 sows ages roughly 18 months, I recently bought 2 more sows roughly 10 weeks. One older sow has settled with the younger 2 instantly, but the other older sow keeps attacking 1 of the younger guinea pigs. Will she settle in time? How can I help them to get used to each other?

Answer
Hi Niki

I dont see any reason why they shouldnt settle but you need to be aware that as in humans, pigs have individual characters and some pigs take a dislike to another.

Take a look at the link below for some tips on introducing new pigs.
