Betrayal hurts more when you actually treated them good
She has definitely gotten used to us as the time has past, the growling is like a combo of teeth chattering and rumbling, however recently she has been more vocal. We call it screaming because the other three do it for attention, food, water (or Oreo who screams at us if she hears a simple bag crinkling) I’m not sure the proper turn but it’s like squeaking or squealing really. She’s started to also be vocal when she hears the other three and has when we bring one back to interact safely through the cage, she’s very vocal and very interested in them.
She’s also shown a lot of personality, she likes redecorating her cage and hiding under blankets and anything resembling a tent. We also have a small play pen set up near the other three where if we can catch her, which is very rare and we don’t try often, we let her interact with the other three with very strict supervision because she does still occasionally attack.
For treats we give fresh greens, apples, carrots, as those are her absolute favorites, she absolutely devours apples when she’s given small pieces or even apple flavored treats.
For my last post: this is the feral, aggressive, insane beast that is Winny. Now, I know Guinea pigs, I know they need to be in groups, but, she cannot. She has bitten me simply for existing. If I cough or move, she growl at me. And I do mean GROWLS. She is a feral beast compared to the three tame, loving, gentle sweet hearts that are Oreo, Dixie, and Waffles. Her nickname is also Squirrel because her fur makes her look like a grey squirrel. She is currently staring me down and growling at me, and is not appeased by the fresh fruits I have given her to snack on with her food dish
Sorry for all the sad-ish reposts on my main, 8 years of trust, care, love, and respect is going down the drain and my mood swings are really getting to me and I’m honestly just in a weird state of limbo now
Thank you so much, we were worried about her being alone for too long because we know they’re supposed to be together in pairs or groups.

We got her two nights ago from my cousin, she was separated from Waffles due to a biting incident that they didn’t know the cause of, after we got her and waffles we did supervise them with the two we already had, she immediately went after Waffles the second we included Winny into the mix, so we removed waffles to see how she did with the other two, she immediately attacked both of them as well with no provocation at all. She also charged at both me and my parents when we tried to put her back in her cage. Waffles and the other two pigs are fine and Waffles hasn’t attacked either of them once, which is making us think Waffles defended herself when she and Winny were separated by my cousin. All I have to do is cough and she’ll growl at me but I’m trying to get her adjusted to me and see if she’ll get more comfortable with people over time due to the attempts to attack us.
