something gone wrong with my guinea pig.
i have a box, seperate lane. i got 3 guinea pigs. 2 adult 1 newbought baby.
the baby is 3 week old. they usually do not fight at all. been living for 6 month already.
because one of the adult is doing excessing butt licking, i seperate it into another lane for like 4-5 hours. then i put back the adult back together with the another adult, then the baby alone into the other lane because the baby is still under fungus treatment.
then suddenly, one of the adult started teeth chattering, the other one just normal, then the one who started teeth chattering attacked the other one. i quickly seperate them. they are close to each other from the first month until now 6th month. do they have short term memory? @@ 4 hours seperated and they don't recognize each other anymore? =(

first time I bought the baby, they always sniff the buff to see if it's female or male, after they confirm, they won't do it as much. then i seperate the baby again then back into the main ground, and they sniff again.
another time, i separate both adult, then back into the den, they sniff butt again (no fighting). that separation was like 10 mins. now 5 hours separation, they don't seem to recognize until I make approach to them, then they started to recognize each other.
