We bought 2 guinea pigs yesterday. They were fine but have now started to fight.
Any ideas what to do?
Apparently it's common for social animals like guinea pigs, dwarf hamsters etc to scrap a bit at first to establish their hierarchy and unless there is blood or visible injuries then they should be OK and the fighting will stop fairly soon
(obviously if you do see blood or injuries then split them up immediately) Do you know if they're from the same litter? I know fighting can be more common if they aren't. If you're still experiencing problems in a week it may be worth getting in touch with the person you bought them from to see if they can help. We saw someone returning a rabbit when we bought the robos so i'm pretty sure most places will take back animals within a certain period of time if it isn't working out.

) and studying as my menfolk are going up to Birmingham to see Aston Villa... 

but sadly DH has a big project go live this week at work and can't take anymore time off.
