Question:would an old giunea pig get aggresive with a baby(male) and was sort of jealus?

Dear linka,

In response to your question, it depends on the guinea pigs personalitys. The old guinea pig could get jealous with the baby, if the baby was getting special treatment while the old guinea pig wasn't. It would feel like it was being neglected in favour of the baby, and so it would get aggressive.

For old males, a young baby wouyld most likely try to cuddle it. Be careful, usually the males won't tolerate this. If fighting continues, refer to the post on 'Introducing old males to Young ones'.

I hope I answered your question!
