Junior Guinea Pig
Hello again!
I wrote a few weeks ago about the bonding of our neutered 1yr ol Piggo and bereaved 5 year old sow Bernie. I'm pleased to say they are now the cutest couple!
We had hoped initially that Piggo would be a companion for our 5yr old bereaved (since June 2021) boar Howie but the bonding failed. Piggo was not a fan!
But we didn't give up hope! A couple of weeks ago we had the chance to rehome a beautiful little guy named Bruno from RSPCA. He is a neutered 6 month old boar. He has since been living side by side with Howie and has had very relaxed contact through the grids. There has never been any rumbling or attempt at fighting. Just a sniff and laying down side by side with the grid in between.
Today we have a free day so we've set up the bonding area and popped them in together. We are about 6 mins in and they are cuddled up next to eachother in an open ended hidey. They've had a sniff, looked a bit surprised and then this! Bruno is falling asleep!
Is this looking good do you think? I know its super early days but there has been no rumbling, no ruffled fur, no teeth chattering.
