[Gpdd] BEHAVIOR: Terrible twos in piggies

[Jntsjanet3 at aol.com]

Hi everyone,

I just have a quick question about the possibility of terrible twos in guinea 
pigs.  My two year old Philena is usually the one who stands out in the crowd 
as always having to be first out of her cage.  When I am salad spinning the 
loudest to wheek and jump on top of her igloo.  Well, Philena turned two years 
old May 15th and she now has developed the habit of taking all of her timothy 
hay out of her hay hopper and then either sitting on it or laying in it.  I 
just don't understand why she would have started doing this?  It has been going 
on for about a month now.  Cassandra went through a terrible two (two years 
ago) with throwing out all of her food out of dish and then eating at her 
leisure.  Her mother Butterscotch was always laid back and very calm.  So I just 
thought that this was odd behavior and I just wanted to know what you all thought 
about it.

Thanks for listening.  Take care,

Jan and co,
Butterscotch, Cassandra, Philena, Katrina, Julia and Jasmine
