We have had 3 cavies, the ones we now have are 9 yrs and the other is 12 months old... They all pee on the grass and cement. The older one started to pee on trees and lift his leg only out on walks when he was 7yrs old. But will not do it at home (except when we got the new dog and he started to lift his leg to pee on him) (we put a stop to that) Maybe a cavie thing.

I know how you feel. We had a 9 year old dog when we got a 8 week old pup. The 9 year old rejected him at first and would not even be in the same room. We made sure that we ALWAYS patted the older first when they were both together always gave him his food first etc. After 2 weeks he had accepted the new pup. We had the same problem with the rough play. We left it alone if it was barking at eachother and mouthing. But if the older one did hurt the pup and make him yelp we would give him a little smack on the nose and pat the pup. He soon learnt that it was wrong to get that rough and if he did the pup got the attention...... So he stopped. All is great now!! ;)
