Wednesday 14 May 2008: Goodbye Krik-Krak you cute little cavi pig!

Krik-Krak found a new home Wednesday night with 4 other little cavi pigs! He's the only boy so he's feeling lucky right now! It was sad to give him away - for my daughter above and for me below - but it had to happen. We signed on for two Guinea Pigs - not three. In a month or so we'll see if more babies are born. It could be! The day after the babies were born the male was still in the cage and as horny as ever I'm afraid. Tonight we'll try to put the mom and dad (brother and sister) back together. We tried quickly the other day and they fought and fought and the castrated boy was still trying to hump the girl. She did not seem to like that and kept whipping her head at him like she was going to bite him. I hope it works out better tonight!
I'll miss that little cutie!
Can you spot Krik-Krak above with his new hairy girlfriends? Which one doesn't fit in this picture?

Wouldn't it make more sense to give away the moms so that you have two males left? Or would they then fight to the death?

They would kill or be killed. A girl and a boy or two girls do better than two males. The girl has been spraying urine at the male and the male has been digging up all the places marked by the given-away baby boy. There's a lot of territory rituals going on and a lot of hissing and snapping. Hopefully things will settle down soon! - SRA
