New Born Pup
Hi, we have recused a 5 week old baby male and are looking to bond him with our 5 month old male. We currently have their cages next to each other and my older piggy is squeaking so much and trying to look into see the other one. We were advised to introduce them in a neutral space, I did do this before and unsure what the signs are.
The older piggy wars chasing him around and sniffing as well was some humping. He was making a rumbling/purring noise I assume to assert dominance but no other signs of aggression. I only left them together for 30 or so minutes as I didn’t want to stress either of them out.
What do you recommend? Should we keep them separated and for how long?
Is it okay for the baby to be on its own whilst the baby quarantines?
Also is that normal behaviour when meeting as I have found very conflicting information on the Internet?
Any advice would be amazing thank you!
