BONDING MY GUINEA PIGS 🐽 | FAIL VS SUCCESS

Hi guys! I hope you enjoy this fail vs successful bonding video. I was glad to film the two in one video so you can see the difference between pigs who don't belong together and pigs that do. Enjoy 😊

In my experience, having more than one pile of hay is best that way the less dominant piggies can avoid the drama and nibble comfortably to the side.

[@IONull]

Same! The best way to bond males is to provide them a large space, separate food and water sources and just let them get to understand they aren't competing. The dynamic between the males in the first part of this video is obviously fighting over competition of a food source. They don't have ANYWHERE to go to feel safe and try again so it results in a fight because they are just constantly getting amped up. They need those hides to wind down for a moment before trying again and they need separate food source so they feel safe eating until they get used to each other and can eat together. Both my males were highly aggressive to each other, they had a fight fights where they basically turn into a ball of chaos. After correcting the issues, the fights stopped and now they live together and freak out if I take one without the other out of the cage.

[@ashlaysaywhat]

At one point I had 4 boys (Charlie, Stewart, Noah & Finn) with only one successful male bond (Charlie & Finn). Their bond was intense, in a good way. It started off with 21 day old Finn running to Charlie to nurse from him, & Charlie let him! Whenever I would take one out of the cage the other would SCREAM out & run around frantically looking for the other. Unfortunately Charlie unexpectedly passed away in September of 2020. I think it broke Finn’s heart. He’s never been the same since losing his adoptive dad. They were together for 2 years. I feel so lucky to have two males bond so deeply. After Stewart’s passing in October 2021, both Noah & Finn are now neutered. Noah lives with his sister Penelope, & Finn lives with Lola & his mother Delilah.

[@PleasantHillPiggies]

With Ezra & Vision’s circling around the hay I thought I was watching two gladiators ready to fight to the death! Sorry it didn’t work out, and blood was shed, but so glad the girls are getting along well!

[@KasaisfireZarasmagic]

My herd of 6 girls still have dominance fights ever so often with the middle three. Herd leader and second in command also fight but that's normally for food. Bottom of the herd doesn't fight she's still a baby and the herd sees her as a baby and she'll go cuddle with herd leader. My other three are teenagers and often fight for who's third in command. I never have to step in because herd leader will step in and stop them. Even after the fights they go back to normal. There is a teen leader and other two submit to her, but sometimes they want to challenge it.

[@QualiaW]

Bonding male guinea pigs is very difficult but one thing i learned is you should never ever interact in their fights while bonding. Until there is any actual agresivness like biting and stuff. This all is just how they show dominance which yes it's pretty painfull to watch. 😂 Edit: i am aware he got bitten which is a problem!

I'd like to thank you for also stating that sometimes it doesn't work. Our two boars never worked out. We tried in a 2x8' area and the one would lunge, mount, spray and bite to hurt the other. They're still side by side with a small divider but otherwise will even try to bite through bars. Milo is also a really big pig and Zeak is a dominant personality.

[@elizabethkeen7851]

[@lindseyiman9052]

We have had successful bonding, but we’re having a tough time with our boy Petrie. We had a fail bonding session and returned a boy. Then we got Zazu and it seemed to go well off the bat. But a couple weeks in, they keep breaking out into fights. Last night blood was drawn. Is it a fail or is there hope after some time with a divider? Not sure if it is a myth that blood drawn means there is no chance of pair.

[@they.luv.jax.]

If blood is drawn separate them. There is a VERY low chance the bond will work and I would recommend getting them each there own friend and keeping the cages next to each other so they can still get enrichment from each other.

do your piggies not push the grids to escape? mine have figured out they can do that to any unsecured grid panel and they know they can LIFT them and escape that way. My 3 boars have never had real issues but 2 are a dad/son pair and have been together since the baby was 2 weeks old and the third doesn't know he's a boy pig or a guinea pig at all. LOL. He thinks i'm his bonded buddy and the other two mean nothing to him; he just chills. Daddy pig is very clearly in charge even tho he's the smallest pig now.

Just FYI, neosporin can be toxic if they ingest it (if it contains bacitracin, it cannot be used orally in guinea pigs). I usually only use it somewhere on the body they can't reach. Bummer that the boys didn't work out. Bonding can be such a hard thing!

[@ThePigRoom]

Hi! For the time I’ve applied Neosporin near the mouth (only once on another pig of mine), it’s only ever been a small bit where it will not be harmful to the pig. I gave Vision a close look after the failed bonding and saw the cut wasn’t too bad and opted to not use Neosporin and just gave him some CBD. He’s doing much better now!

It’s never recommended to have more than 2 males in a cage as they usually never work and their bond has more chances of breaking.

@@guineapigparadise8042 you can have as large of a herd of girls as long as they bond. sometimes you get clashing personalities and they won’t bond with the herd but it’s not as likely. usually when adding a new pig to a herd of females you want to get one that’s younger than the rest, but a lot of times it goes fine with females of any age

[@DarkDemonOfHel]

I really think you should add some hides in the bonding cage. Sure, it will make the bonding last longer, but also it means that they can stay in the bonding cage for days, have a place to rest if things get to stressful and can break line of sight to avoid that ‚gladiator stare‘ that the boys had. While bonding my bunnies I always followed the rule for hides amount: Number of bunnies plus one as bare minnimum. I know that the arena-like bonding is pretty popular but it‘s more dangerous, the animals get hurt easier and they would be way more comfortable with places to hide. Not to trash on anyone, just my opinion, as an owner of prey animal that turn ballistic if their territory is threatened :D

[@TheTinyHerd]

With guinea pigs you should not use hides until they've had the initial interactions. Not being familiar with each other and immediately fighting over hides can escalate things very quickly before they have had a chance to ever check each other out. It's actually safer than two pigs fighting in a hide and injuring each other before you can get them out of the hide. I've been able to tell multiple times that I've put hides in too soon. Guinea pigs also should not need to be in bonding pens for days, you generally know within a couple hours if it'll work or not. I haven't don't bunny bonding before, but from what I've seen and read it's a pretty different process than guinea pigs.

[@DarkDemonOfHel]

@@TheTinyHerd I haven't bonded pigs myself, true, but as much as I researched the bonding process is pretty much the same except pigs should know each others scent before the bonding and bunnies shouldn't. The rest is pretty much the same. If they hurt each other in the hides it seems to happen in hides with just one entrance which is an absolute no-go. Also forcing them to interact seems more stressful than letting them do it in their own terms. I'm sorry but this just seems more logical to me. For prey animals forcing them in an Arena without a way to hide just doesn't sit right. As I said that's my opinion, and the opinion of most better online sites I could find after some research. And yeah my bunnies also fought over hides. Alot. But it's less stressful than not giving them a chance to get out of sight at all.

[@TheTinyHerd]

@@DarkDemonOfHel bonding is stressful regardless, I personally just like to have it be as short and sweet as possible. Everyone has their own opinion on bonding, so as long as it works for your animals then that's the best for each person. I completely disagree with guinea pigs knowing each others scents ahead of time (depending on how it's done) for instance lol and I have never seen that be recommended anywhere until youtube in the past year 🤷‍♀️ We all are learning as more people share their experiences so if better things are found then it's good to share. That's just my experience with hides with my bonding sessions. They do need hides, I just don't introduce them until I know they aren't going to lunge and attack each other. But I also don't talk to them or move around, I pretty much make the environment as quiet and calm as possible and sit very still and quiet nearby just in case.

[@DarkDemonOfHel]

@@TheTinyHerd yeah that's why it should be as stressless as possible. I do agree with most parts. It's just that stare between the boys that I think could be broken with hides. And I prefer longer bondings just to keep fights at a minimun when they move to their true enclosur. But yeah true. Well as long as noone tries the panic box method it's fine.

[@giverny28]

I'm so glad to hear that relationships don't always work. We have 2 males that are llttermates. We assumed this would be a sure thing to assure they wouldn't fight. Umm...wrong. We received them from a failed bonding from another family (they didn't bond with their guineas). We got them home, got them settled tripled the cage size and established a routine. Then all of a sudden, they stated to fight. Not just tiff, but bite & bleed one another. So we separated them with a wire guard. They were ok mostly, but still charged each other or chewed on the wire to try and get to each other. We have moved to separated cages where they can hear each other, but not see each other. Now everyone is calm, but I feel bad. We try to get the together each week, but they almost always go straight into fight mode. I'm glad to know it's not always something we do, but maybe it's just a guy thing. Bummer if they are lonely, but maybe it's better than injured pigs??? The overly dominant pig also tends to bite my daughter. She's not ever don't anything to her. He just doesn't like her. He only really likes me. He weaks when he sees me, wants a snack and sprawls out on my lap in cuddle time almost right after getting a treat. I hope that's just a preference thing too. Lucky fit her, the docile one loves her like the aggressive one likes me.

[@katieengland9233]

My first guinea pig was alone for almost 3 months because my kids grandma didn't know they did better in pairs. She thought the pet store was trying to get rid of their last pig with the one she was getting. And I wasn't ready for 1 pig, had no clue they were coming home with him. Had the small cage, cheap food, small plastic hut. But we got him out for most of the day and he played with our cats. I kept joking he was turning into one. When I started thinking of getting him a friend I couldn't find one. But when I did I knew right away he was the one. 8 weeks old and the same temperament as our boy. I was SO worried about bonding, but it didn't even take a hour. I saw our boy do things he never had done with us or the cats. He became a piggy again. They are best buds. They do everything together. Both love to be cuddle and held all the time, so it made getting things done a bit hard. Their like babies. So I invested in a critter cuddler. Best thing ever. Big brother introduced little brother to the kitty's and when their in their "free roam" pin in the livingroom the cats will sit on one side and the piggy's on the other. Once our baby gets a bit bigger I will let them run around the house for a bit. I just want him bigger.

[@capris94]

The bonding first 2 guinea pigs was ok. You don't let them to get along and determine the male alpha. In my opinion the interrupting them with the towel was too quick and 20 minutes is too short. The social relationships between pigs are different than between people and I know that looks scary, but these fights were very mild. If there is some injuries and blood it's ok. Put some disinfectant liquid and let them determine the alpha. Also you could prepare way more space for bonding and later decreasing it to the size of cage. My pigs were fighting all night before they got along, and it wasn't easy for me. I was really scary and afraid of them. In my opinion You can try again to bond these two guys, but be more patient. I will be ok :) good luck!

[@maddieschermer8557]

After blood is drawn they shouldn’t ever be put together again, he did it right

[@ThatAnimalHouse]

After blood is drawn you shouldn’t try again. If they’re fighting to the point where there is blood it’s gone too far and you should stop trying. If you do continue and they do end up bonding chances are, their bond will just break in the future.
