RIP Ryder (2022) & Hammy (2019)
My guineas were hatched around the first week of June in 2019 (that makes them around 6 months old). I started off with a good handful more than 7 but alas I only have 7 adults and only 1 is female.
Before I let them free range the males would not let the female eat. So I finally decided to just let them free range. I tried separating them, but it didn’t work out so well, they kept calling for each other so they are back together.
As they free range the males stick together but they shoo the female away sometimes so she follows closely but not too close. Will they always be mean to her? What about when they need to mate? Should I eventually separate the female and one male?
