I recently took in two guinea pigs that were supposedly both males (around 11 months old). After having them for about a month, I realized one is actually female, so they’ve now been separated and I’m officially on baby watch 😅

They’re currently in separate cages right next to each other so they can still see and hear one another. Since they were already bonded, I’m worried they might get lonely or depressed being separated. I’ve noticed some bar chewing since the split.

Has anyone dealt with this before? Do they usually adjust over time, or is there anything I can do to make the separation easier on them?
