New Born Pup
Hello all!
So, I have a meeting with a local rescuer this weekend. She has a boar who was also bullied who needs a friend. We're letting the boys meet to see if they get on with a view to me taking him. He's an alpaca pig, so he has the cutest, craziest hair!
Anyway, I have read the bonding guides but in reality, would I know fairly quickly if they aren't going to get on? I am just so worried that all seems ok in the first hour or so, then it goes downhill after a few days. I absolutely do not want my boy hurt or stressed out again. I'm also paranoid about illnesses etc.
What's your experiences of bonding? Does it really take a few days/weeks? Will we know straight away if they like each other?
