New Born Pup
Hi! This is my first post.
I have a female piggy named Maya. I tried matching her with a lot of pigs but she always turns out to hate them. She looks the happiest when she's alone. But I know they should not be alone so I just try to keep on matching and matching. A couple weeks ago I got a message from someone with an older piggy whose friend had crossed the rainbow bridge and who needed a new cage mate. As she was not dominant at all I decided to give it a try with Maya. It was a match! It's not like they seem very close but Maya tolerates her (Wuppie). So I kept her. Things went well but Wuppie started moving weird during the last couple weeks. I'm pretty sure she has arthritis and I'm seeing a vet tomorrow. She seems to be in pain and fell over today. The problem is, ever since then Maya has been a bit rough with her. She keeps jumping on her, nibbling at her and not giving her a break. Wuppie is in pain and gives a squeak every time Maya jumps her.
I have two other piggies, Shaffy and a baby Indy. Shaffy lost his mate so I got him Indy and since then he's been really happy. Maya hates Shaffy and they can't stay together. Shaffy and Indy are good together. Indy is so sweet and chill that she could also be a match for Maya or Wuppie. The problem is Maya can't go with Shaffy. Indy can go with everyone. Maya is rough on Wuppie. And Maya and Indy would probably be a nice match. Shaffy is a male and would also probably be rough with Wuppie. But Shaffy is happy with Indy and it would be bad to break them apart anyway right? So I dont really know what to do. I want Wuppie to not be in pain and Maya makes it worse. But I want the others to be happy too. What would you do? Wait it out? Put Maya alone and Wuppie with the other two? I don't know how to fix this at the moment. I'm curious what other piggy owners would do
