Introducing male baby guinea pigs

The humping is quite normal and yes it is very overwhelming for the guinea pig who is receiving the humping. Please do not separate the baby unless there is an injury that causes bloodshed. You have to be patient and wait out the 'bullying', which should settle down in a matter of days or weeks. It can take months even, but in the long run it's very worth it! If your other guinea pigs are under a year old they have a lot of testosterone which makes them very prone to humping their cage mates. It's very normal, and one my males humps his poor cage mate daily.

Yay for rescueing them!

Anyways..well, guinea pigs are supposed to be introduced on neutral territory. Also, don't worry about the humping that is perfectly normal dominance behavior, for both males and females. That odor you smell is from the males marking their teritory. You probably will not have to rehome him,because as you described they will get along perfectly. He is also pretty young. Don't be surprised if in several weeks to come, he starts to get a little bucky and fight a little bit back, because he might go through an adolesence phase, but we will get over that by at least a year old. But you shouldn't have to worry about that, and like I said before if he ends up causing bloodshed only do you seperate them.

Actually..the best advice would be to use this link

http://cavyspirit.com/sociallife.htm

If you scroll halfway down it tells you exactly how to properly do introductions. It also gives you signs that are normal dominance behavior, and other signs when you need to serpate them. Just make sure you read it all over. Basicly, you should never serperate them unless there is bloodshed

If that doesn't work, it also mentions doing a "buddy bath". That's where you bath all your pigs together,and the fear will make them forget all about the dominence issue.

That link is very helpfull and by following that my pigs Grimace and Brobee have succesfully become buds themselves. :)

Good luck!

I bred guinea pigs for a few years and generally introducing a new male to existing males isn't good. Try and find a new home for him may be the best answer.

I think that the males are just curious and the other baby male is scared because he doesn't know why they are doing this. I would try to introduce them once more to see if they would do ok. I am not sure and good luck! Hope this helps!

Try it again, and if it happens seperate the two but in the same cage. Leave it a day and if you find this is still happening I think ylou should find him a new home.

Good luck

try to get guinea pigs that are the same age they work better

proberally both

rub him with their dirty sawdust sohe smells of their smell and maybee pu up some chicken wire/ bars and put him in it so they can eat together but not together
