2009-08-25 Male Guinea Pig Behaviour

Here are the warning signs when two dominate males are near each other. The teeth chattering is the last hurdle that they will cross before a full scale fight breaks out. If your male guinea pigs do this then they need to be separated.

Male guinea pigs can and do live together in harmony. What matters is that they are introduced when at least one is a baby, that there is literally not even a whiff of a female anywhere near them, and that they have enough space and don't have to share the same feeding bowl.

@Hekateras I could not have said it any better myself.

@TheUndertaker1850 There was another male guinea pig close by, that is what he does not like.

@glacim Some male guinea pigs will quite happily live together but they have to be introduced from when both are still babies. Male guinea pigs like most other mammals have one objective in life and that is to keep their species going and will go to the length of maiming and in the worst cases, kill the weaker male. Bottom line is keep male guinea pigs apart if there are females in the vicinity.
