Failed Guinea Pig Introduction

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

We got a new guinea pig and it absolutely didn't work out. We decided to stop the introduction as it got too intense. The guinea pigs didn't get along and so it was best to stop the bonding process. The guinea pig went back to the rescue and got adopted :)

    What i liked about Max and Sylvester was that they did'nt do anything unless they had to correct the other pigs. This piggie right away started chasing and jumping on the girls without much reason. He seemed insecure. The introduction for Max was amazing! He was really calm and friendly.

    One thing i reacted right away to was that the new pig turned away from Lumi when he was put in the cage and she greeted him. Compare that to Max who at the start greeted Lulu and then greeted everyone else in a calm manor. He did'nt even flinch when the girls made jerky movements. He even stepped away when he saw that Lumi was nervous.

    Yeah, the new pig was a bit high strung. Nugget initially was making a few attempts to have a friendly greeting, but he kept just doing big displays. Lumi tried her best to be unthreatening and out of the way, he kept being pushy anyway. An altercation with Gatsby is probably inevitable, maybe Lulu will be a little resistant too, but being harsh with Nugget and Lumi is pretty unnecessary. He did seem insecure, maybe because he was smaller and young, or because it was a larger herd? He definitely was super cute when he actually laid down and relaxed though. I'm glad that he got a home that was a better fit for him. I liked how chill and friendly Max was too; he didn't really do big displays. Confident and polite, greeted everyone nicely, but stood firm when Gatsby challenged him, and even then he still stayed pretty chill and ever ready to be friendly. I remember Julia teasing him, 'you have no natural enemies, do you, Max?' since he was just always so at ease. Sylvester was also really chill, didn't feel much need to assert himself, but he was boss without needing to make a fuss about it.

    It is possible to introduce guinneapigs even when they are aggressive, but it takes time, patience and thick gloves. It can be the new pig OR one from the flock that gets aggressive, the moment they start to strut and challenge, you remove it (thus you need the gloves, things can get heated) and immediately put it in a carrier to settle down. This can take from a couple of minutes, up to 15. As soon as all guinneapigs are calm again, put the "excited" one to introduction again. All guinneapigs want to be part of a flock, so getting separated is a big loss for them. The first minutes thereafter, all guinneapigs have a calm energy, but the strutting and challenging will happen again, several times, each time the agressive guinneapig will need to be removed to settle down. They can not become one in the flock when they are stressed out anyways, so this is kinder for all, for them to settle down. In my case it was one of the existing females that was overly agressive towards two new females, and introduction had failed several times, ending up in separate cages for weeks. When using the method of only letting the agressive guinneapig into the flock when she had settled down, made a successful introduction in about 4 hours. There were some minor scuffles after, but no flying fur.

Poor Lumi, she is the Fluttershy of the herd she is so damn scared of the happenings around while Nugget sits there waiting what is going to happen, Gatsby is angry to the core and Lulu is bored and disgusted by the guys proposals :D

    Oh Sweet Jeulia... Sylvester was so rare for an Abyssinian. In our experiences (3 different households)...we only have problems bringing Abyssinians into the herd. In the one instance that it worked, it was still a never truly happy existence for the rest. They are SO smart, but so bossy. You are such a good guinea mom, I’m sure you’ll find the right pig for your lil family. ❤️

    I have an Abby and she’s the complete opposite. She’s the quietest (personality wise - she’s a pretty talkative piggie 😂) guinea pig in my heard and if one of the other pigs tell her off she goes and nuzzles their ears and grooms them straight away. But I definitely get what you mean some Abby’s are extremely bossy and excitable. Just some are like Sylvester and my Fleur.

    I have a 5 month old abyssinian I have been trying to bond with my older male. Older male is way bigger and I expected him to be the boss pig. But little abyssinian guy is so aggressive he was dominating my older guy. For now I'm keeping them in separate cages. I feel sorry for my sweet older guy... He was sooooo stressed out. Thankfully no blood drawn though.

    My abby is such a handful & she was from day one. My other female guinea pig doesn't like to be around her at all. My abby was only 6 weeks old when I got her & my other guinea pig hated her on sight. Which is unusual since adult guinea pigs don't usually want to fight with baby ones. So that means I have no choice but to keep them separated. Which isn't good because I hate them both being alone. But I'm not allowed to get more guinea pigs & I love them both far to much to rehome them. I try my best to give them both plenty of cuddles.

His cage mate is not an abyssinian and is pretty damn fiesty, but my big guy is barely bothered by it. He has a calm commanding energy with his buddy lol. He doesn't even talk unless he has to.

    Coming back to this video after seeing Fitz's introduction and the contrast is stark. New pig here was very aggressive compared to Fitz who just stuck her nose straight into the hay pile and tried to get along with everyone. It must have been so difficult for you to go through this, especially so soon after losing Max. You handled it so maturely and with aplomb, though. You did everything right within your control from my perspective and intervened at the right time. I'm glad everything worked out in the end with the lovely Fitz (she's a personal favourite of mine as well as Lumi!) but I just wanted to say I hope you don't regret what happened from this experience. You were so strong throughout this despite the emotional hurt underlying your voice, and in your Best Kept Guinea Pig secrets video, you admitted to 'chickening out' and getting a younger, female pig instead, but I think it shows just how much you care. That's not cowardice at all. I'm sure you can handle another introduction in the future should you need to. Love your channel and your herd, and you're a fantastic owner who's very educational and inspiring. Sorry for the text wall, I just wanted to give my reassurance and show my appreciation. x
