Answers:
You may want to seperate them until popcorn is older. At 2 weeks it is difficult to be sure you have correctly sexed them. typically you should wait until they are over 3 weeks old or longer to be sure.
We had a male and thought we were putting another male in his cage. In his attempts to breed with "him" he killed her. She was a female and was sexed wrong.
Seperate them until they are older. Males do not typically try to mate with other males.
maybe your guinea pig is gay
You have a gay guinea pig
Bad guinea pig! Bad! Into the deep fryer with you and I hope your replacement is a little bit more gentle.
he's just waiting for the correct time.
Sounds like he's just showing that he is the alpha male by being dominant.
Its a territory fight since they are both males. Male guinea pigs are known to fight.
see if he likes to carry a whip and wear leather and chains. I don't think he's mean. He's just exploring his sexuality, but tell him that his partners should be consenting guinea pigs.
A guinea pig should still be with its mother at 2 weeks old. He is waaay too young to be sold. A male guinea pig should be separated from its mum at 3 or 4 weeks old (depending on whether its trying to mount siblings and mother) and should not be sold till it is at least 6 weeks old.
Mounting is just a dominance issue to do not worry about that - unless he is fighting and drawing blood.
Wow the above answers are just pointless.
Males and females BOTH mount - it is a dominance issue. The one mounting is basically saying 'I'm the boss'. Females do it when they are in heat.
As for 'males are known for fighting' - babies don't. They will only fight if BOTH boars are adults (12+ months old). I have two pairs of boars that get on fine - one pair are brothers, the other pair is unrelated.
I feel for that poor baby boar though. That poor baby it too young.
Your guinea is just frustrated and dominant I have two male guineas and one of them who is called coco is always trying to mate with buddy it is where there is no female in there for him to mate with I have also had a male guinea in with my rabbit years ago who was a female and the guinea still tried to mate with her. Just keep an eye on them and try to give them two of everything so they have equal dishes etc. Good luck and let me know how it goes
