Guinea pigs are adorable and friendly creatures that make great pets. However, sometimes they can exhibit aggressive behavior towards each other, including biting each other’s bottoms. This behavior can be disturbing and confusing to guinea pig owners, who may wonder why their pets engage in such behavior. In this article, we will explore the reasons why guinea pigs bite each other’s bottoms and how to prevent such behavior.
Understanding Guinea Pig Behavior: The Basics
Guinea pigs are social animals that live in groups in the wild. They have a complex communication system that includes vocalizations, body language, and scent marking. Guinea pigs are herbivores and spend most of their time eating, sleeping, and grooming themselves and their companions. They are active during the day and sleep at night, and they need plenty of space and activities to keep them healthy and happy. Guinea pigs are also sensitive animals that can easily get stressed or scared by loud noises, sudden movements, or unfamiliar scents or objects.
