New Kit
We've been trying to bond our new bun, Boris, with our 2 guinea pigs, Neville and CJ, over the past coupla days.
We started off by gently introducing them whilst we supervised; my O/H sat on the floor with piggies on his knee near Boris, so he could investigate if he felt the need, but we could still easily seperate them if things got a bit icky. It all went really well, there was a lot of sniffing and the piggies seemed very cautious - unsurprisingly as Boris is 3 times their size - but everyone remained calm. Nice.
The next day - last night - we did the same at first but let the piggies wander around a bit. All went well at first... lots of sniffing, CJ was more into Boris than Neville, who was still very cautious, and there was some mutual grroming between CJ and Boris. Nice. This went on for some time. We then gave them all some celery and they sat next to each other eating and sharing... nice. I notice Boris rested his head over CJ a few times... I presume this is affection. Then Boris got a little too friendly... he started to chase first CJ, then Neville and tried to give then some Mclovin'!! The guinea pigs started sqealing and looked terrified so we seperated them.
Boris hasn't been spayed yet... we only adopted him last weekend so we haven't quite had time yet!
Will he continue to do this until he's spayed? Should I try again? I've got NO idea what to do next!!
HELP!!
:shock:
