SAB Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 My 2.5 year old guinea pig, whom I have always believed to be female (genitals certainly look female) has started trying to mount her female housemate - any one else come across this?

Scooby Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 My boys (brothers) do this too. I may be wrong, but I think it is just a sign of dominence. I got our boys neutered and it still happens which causes me to think that may be the reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAB Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 thanks - we were thinking it was dominance issue - neither seems distressed by it, so we are not too worried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelicano Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Yes, definitely a dominance thing. Just watch out in case it turns into bullying, but I'm sure it will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAB Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 Seemed to calm down after we took the larger one out to check sexual organs once more to ensure it was female - I think this must have showed that humans are dominant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellomotto12345 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 When sows are in season, they tend to mount each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAB Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 yep - that was what was happening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacman Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Yes. Don't worry too much. Probably just one of your lady pigs showing the other who's boss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAB Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 That was ages ago and has stopped now - exactly as you suggest, dominance stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
