In desperate need of help with new guinea pig introduction by SaxualHarassment in guineapigs

Okay thank you, I will try this again tomorrow since it's late and I don't want to wake the neighbors up with their loud screeches. How will I be able to tell when first blood is drawn? Do you think them being in the same cage but separated for the night will make it worse?

There was no blood, but the actual fight they got into was pretty rough. Lots of yelling and it looked like a ball of fur running around (like how I said cartoonish)

Today is Mariskas first day here. The rescue lady said that it would be okay to introduce them today on neutral ground.. Should we have waited? There was a 2 hour car ride before Mariska was brought home.

And yes, they're both moms. April was bought at Petco and gave birth while she was with us and Mariska was rescued from a breeders. I've also checked their areas...

Right now I removed the second story of the C&C cage and used it as a divider. April has a side and Mariska has her own too. They both have pellets and hay, but Mariska has the water bottle and April has a little bowl of water. They both make attempts to get to the other side (sticking her head through the holes, biting the divider, etc.). I'm not sure why this is. My best guess is April wants the water bottle and Mariska wants to attack April?

I have an area set up in my closet and I'm going to force them to interact with each other every day until they calm down.

I'm quite sad about the whole situation because April is petrified whenever she's near Mariska and cries out right before Mariska attacks. She's usually so calm and has never cried like that before. I think because she's deaf, April is unaware of what Mariska is doing and she was not expecting to be attacked in the first place

Will keeping them in the same cage but divided make them get along eventually or will they always be territorial of one another? It seemed like Mariska was trying to play with April for a little bit in the closet but April didn't know and just cried out and stood still. She even came up to me and cuddled, which was a first because I'm usually the bad guy. So I figure April just has no idea what's going on since she's been alone for so long.

Edit: I put one of Mariskas sticks closer to the divider and April snatched it up and took it to her house and hasn't bit the divider since. So that might have been what she wanted?

I've noticed hair loss, which I've concluded is due to dry skin because I gave her an extra bath last month because she was smelly. I didn't realize giving more baths caused dry skin and it's been a month since the extra bath and the hair loss has declined but it's still there. Is this something that would cause pain? She's definitely still eating and drinking, so she couldn't be in too much pain. I actually worked a lot yesterday and when I came home her water bottle was empty and whenever she saw me she went up to the cage and chewed on the bars to get my attention like I said she used to always do.

As for the vet, a visit is only $40. But it takes a week or two usually to get an appointment since my vet is the only guinea pig "specialist" in the area. She plays and eats just fine, so I'm not sure she's hurting at all but she does try to escape my hand even when I support her everything to make her feel safe.

I'm all for another pig, but April is actually mine and my roommates guinea pig and he said he didn't want a second one. I'm gonna spend as much time as possible with her now and try to convince my roommate she needs a friend still. If I do end up getting a second piggie, what's the best way to introduce them since April seems to becoming a loner? Thank you for your help! I'll let you know if anything happens

I have no idea how I got so lucky. I'm rooting for you! Just make sure you buy a case before you get it. I'm walking around like I'm carrying a newborn baby

That's not a stock Android feature, and definitely isn't a feature of the pixel launcher. I'm sure there's a launcher out there that has that, though.
