I have two new Guinea Pigs. I was told one is a female and am not sure what the other one is. The female, who is significantly larger than the other one keeps chasing it and nipping at it's butt. The other Guinea Pig does not seem to appreciate this, but yesterday it started running around wiggling it's butt. I read that the butt wiggling was a sign of mating, but can't find anything on booty biting. Anyone know anything about that?

You probably have a male-female mating problem. If one of them is making a kind of purring noise, you reeeeaaaaallllly need to separate them otherwise you'll end up with three to six more guinea pigs in about 60-75 days.

It is probably trying to "barber" the other guinea pig's butt. My guinea pigs have long hair and they chew each others' hair all the time to give it a trim. It's normal for guinea pigs. Bet you never thought a guinea pig could be a hairdresser, eh? ;)

My friends hamsters use to do that but the boy always bit the girl when he wanted to mate with her...of course you have guinie pigs and these are hamsters so it might be different.
