bonding sows

[Jennifer1990]

i have had my two sows snowy and marble since late august last year and they are fine but i just bout another sow 2nights ago and trying to get them to get along but each time i put them together they teeth start chattering.

They were fine when i had just got the new sow but then put her in the cage beside snowy and marble and since then its been nothing but chattering its only snowy that chatters her teeth but marble sometimes joins in since they two are best buds and poor little honey is petrified of them so i put her in a c&c for that night and yesterday bought honey a cage for herself.
Anway is there much i can do as snowy just does not seem to even make a effort to get along i know its onky been two days but it seems to me that snowy does not want honey anywhere near her.

they only reason why i am fussing is for when the warmer weather comes in and there in the hutch outside if they dont get along by then i dont know what to do?

You need to introduce them on neutral ground like the floor or a couch, not in the other one's cage. The cage needs to be absolutely scrubbed so it smells neutral and not like it belongs to the other piggies. How much space do they have? Space is a huge factor in getting pigs to get along.

When you're introducing, if they're not fighting then don't seperate. Teeth chattering is a sign you need to watch out but not seperate them. I would follow the advice above and try again.

well today i built a c&c cage 4 snowy and marble 2 run about while i cleaned out their cage i also put honey beside them 2 get them used to eachother and it all went fine snowy chatterd once or twice and was it so i will keep honey in her own cage and when its floortime put them together when the warmer months are back i will buy a big hutch so that way they can get the space they need O0
