OUR FORUM IS UP BUT WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF UPDATING AND FIXING THINGS. SOME THINGS WILL LOOK WEIRD AND/OR NOT BE CORRECT. YOUR PATIENCE IS APPRECIATED. We are not fully ready to answer questions in a timely manner as we are not officially open, but we will do our best.

With my female piggies, the best way to stop them bickering with one another is you need more than one item of toys/hidies/water bottles. A lot of members at cavycages.com will tell you the same thing. Always give multiple hidey houses when having more than 1 pigger and you need to make sure they have enough room to popcorn and run around. The number one reason for piggy arguments is over hidie homes, not enough room in the cage, and water bottles.
I’ve had up to 6 males living together before and sometimes they did tell off one another but there was never any serious fighting. They would do their rumble strut but I never saw them hump eachother. As for stinking ….just clean the cage more often and they won’t smell as bad
You should really make sure that little Toot is a male, all you have to do is press very gently on the private area and you will know if something pops out. The guinealynx forums will have photos for you. As for the humping …..if you hate it so much then I really wouldn’t get rabbits because it does happen.
How long has Toot been off the ringworm meds? If Toot is clear and healthy and indeed a male (you really need to know this because you will get baby pigs if not) then they should be fine together, given if you have enough space for them and multiple hidey houses. Do you use water dishes or water bottles? If you use water bottles then I would recommend that you have 2 so that they don’t fight over who gets to drink first.
Clean your cage well that you want them to both be in and clean off the hidey homes/feeders/waterers/everything; just so everything is new to them so they can inspect the new enviroment and go from there.
You can see here I have 3 different houses, Jerry LOVED that fuzzy white one, which has now turned into Bun’s cushion.
