New Born Pup
My two female piggies are six months old, born on the same day full sisters, and have a massive indoor enclosure with plenty to do. Ive had them for three months. As time has gone by and they have got older, I have noticed that they have less and less to do with one another. Biscuit is the dominant one, and Maisie pushes it alot of the time but eventually gives in. During the day they ignore each other, don't interact and seem to be happier as far apart as possible. The only time they get together is at food times etc. I was wondering if I should get a third younger guinea pig to provide some more love, playtime and companionship for them both. I can have one more piggie cage size wise, but I am not sure if it is the right thing to do.
I have read that having 3 piggies can sometimes make couples and then an odd one out, but at the moment Biscuit and Maisie BOTH seem to be leading "the odd one out" lifestyle so would it matter?
Also adding a new piggie to two sisters when they are still only 6 months old - am I being to premature, and should I wait?
Any advice would be appreciated thank you. xx
