Hello! My just about 2 year old sow Peggy lost her friend a few days ago, and I have moved her cage up against my other bonded female pair, Cinnamon and Sugar (owned 3 years, may be 4-5 years old).
I'm wondering how long before I attempt a bonding on neutral ground. So far they seem really curious and interested in each other...went over to the shared area and all started chewing the bars. No aggressive behaviors. (in the past Ive tried this with others and saw snorting, yawning and teeth chattering from the single pig, and then some intense stare-downs/lunging with the bonded pair! and then the meeting was a failure)
After a day next to each other, they sniff and investigate, bite the bars a little, and then go back to their business of eating hay.
Hopeful this could be a sign I could try to bond them!
