Strange behavior

cabbygirl · 08-22-2007, 11:29 AM

Lately my piggies have been acting strange. They're chasing each other around and Rico, one of my boars, is humping everything. Including Gunther, my other boar. Dee Dee, my sow, is supposed to be spayed, but I'm beginning to wonder. The breeder said she was, but could he have just said that to make the sale? I've separated them but it maybe to late. Is this normal piggie behavior? Am I being paranoid?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

dont' worry... male guinea pigs hump eachother... i think its normal... i had 2 guinea pigs one male n one female... and they had babies... i decided to keep only 2...and gave the rest to my relative.. i kept the father and the son... but the son always humps the father's head...
and i think its perfectly normal for guinea pigs to chase eachother around... and they may fight once in a while too..

It is normal for them to chase each other around (& hump each other) BUT...
never take anyone else's word about the gender of your pets.
If the breeder got her spayed, she should have given you the vet records for proof.
I'm assuming that since you haven't updated us, and this was posted in Aug, she must be sterilized. You'd already have a litter by now.
