sow bonding

I have two bonded skinny sows that have lived together happily for over a year now. Every once in a while there will be some rumble strutting but nothing more, and they often sleep closeby out in the open together. Last week we were having outside time and one of them was injured, and after a...

Hi all, This is my first post on here so please bear with me! I was wondering if anyone has any advice. Background I have had two guinea pigs (Pippa and Pearl) for around 3.5 years now, both happy, bonded and comfortable. They were purchased together from a rescue, where we were informed they...

Hi there, I am new to the forum! I am from western Canada and have three female guinea pigs around 3 years old. My original girl Clementine (3.5 years old) recently lost her sister and I was on the hunt for a friend for her as all advice you ever see is on the importance of never keeping a...

Hello there, Barely even a day after losing his girlfriend really unexpectedly, my little boar Cinnamon (not 100% on his age, between 4 and 6 I think) is looking really sad and scared. I'm desperately looking around for another sow but really struggling. He's completely changed personality...

Hi all we currently have two 7 month old girls who live in a 2 story chartwell (in an insulated shed). My friend lost one of her two female pigs earlier this year and has asked us if we'd like her now lone 3 year old pig. My heart of course says yes, but my questions are: 1. I know they're...

Hi, I could really do with some advice about whether of not to keep trying to find a friend for my almost 5 year old sow Puffin. Over Christmas she lost her sister Panda who she had lived with her whole life. We have since tried to bond her with a 4 year old sow, but that failed, we tried...

Hey there, I am having trouble with my 2 sows Lumi and Frosty. They are sisters and I adopted them as babies, when they became teens they decided that Frosty was the dominant sow and things were peaceful unless Frosty was in season and would bully Lumi a little (just chasing and nose punching...

Hi! I'm super worried about one of my girls and was looking for advice from anyone! I have 4 sows, all about 4 months old now. They seem to get on okay, do the odd stand off and dominance, but I've just gone in the give them their evening veg and seen a little cut on one of the girls eye...

Hi there! I was wondering whether anyone might have any advice about a situation I’ve run into with my herd of sow piggies... I’ll give a bit of background info first! So a couple of weeks ago I adopted two young sows (6 and 4 months) who were already part of a group, to see whether they would...

Hi there, I've got a 2 month old girl, Taco, and i am looking to get her a companion. She's been getting used to her new home and situation. Was unable to get two initially but I know it'd be best for her if I do. Was looking for another young lady to pair with her. I've read through all the...

I recently adopted 2 skinny pig sows that have been litter mates since birth. They were shipped to me from Illinois (I’m in nyc) and in the carrier, one girl scratched the other pretty badly. She had small scratches all over her back that were bleeding. They have been with me for about 4 days...

Hi everyone, Piglet here! I have some exciting news to share with you all.. After losing my big “sister” Biscuit, piggymummy noticed that I was feeling really lonely. So, she and piggydaddy found me a new sister. They were very nervous in case we wouldn’t get on, but we do, honest! Okay, so I...
