I'm sorry I came off sounding harsh probably, I was relating more to the guinea pig than I was to you as I am prone to do with all animal stories. I've cussed out best friends over poor animal treatment from the animal itself effectively being a captive to the people's mistakes. Someone's got to stand up for the animals, as they sure as shit can't stand up for themselves, and oftentimes it takes SHOCKING the person into better animal care so that they won't just default onto older habits.
If this doesn't work out, you ought to see if there's anyone who'd be willing to raise her instead who's had prior experience with this sort of thing.
Guinea pigs may fight to establish dominance but will usually figure it out themselves.
Yeah, this is shown in birds as "The Pecking Order", and is comically demonstrated in a Thanksgiving special on Bob's Burgers:
DISCLAIMER: I am not claiming that you should be establishing dominance in a similar way, just that "pecking order" is something that usually needs to be established in most same-animal hierarchies. It's even the same for people.
How long have you had her for?
