Question
we have had two guinea pigs for about a year they have started hummping each other ALOT. one tends to hump more than the other what can we do  

Answer
Hi K

Humping is basically a sign of dominance where one pig is trying to determine he is boss. However, this behaviour is quite normal and will usually settle down within a few days. No need to worry, but if anything else occurs, please let me know.
