[Gpdd] Behavior: Interesting

[Marsha Neely]

StinkerBelle, Trixie, and Ozzy share a large cage.  StinkerBelle is their 
mother, and Trixie and Ozzy are 2 years old.  Last weekend, I observed 
StinkerBelle being very rough and picking on Trixie.  On Monday, I called my 
vet to make an appointment for a wellness check, which I do 2-3 times a year 
with each piggie.  That night, I did some research, as I do before each trip 
to the vet.  On Tuesday, I took her to the vet, and he confirmed what I had 
read on Peter Gurney's website.  Did any of you know that guinea pigs get 
PMS?  There was nothing wrong with her, she was just cranky.  She got a 
clean bill of health.  I put her in her own cage, and, since then, she has 
been very laid back and seems to be very content.  Who knew?  She still 
plays with her babies during floor time, but she now has her own home.

Best to all,
Marsha
