I know with Boars a lot of people use 2 food bowls ,2 hidey houses etc. My 2 sows only have 1 of each thing and seem fine at the moment. But they are still babies. Should i get them a hidey house each or will they be ok sharing ?
 
Mine too. Not hideys - although I have one massive one and very occassionally they share.
 
It may just because they've bolted in there, but with mine, I've gone in to their hutch, to find three crammed into the seagrass hidey (which is only big enough for two), complete with a bottom overhanging the entrance hole's edge, and one sitting on top of the hidey.

You could see how they go with one hidey, but if you find one being left out, then get another hidey.

Lol :))
 
I have always felt that it is good to have two hideys.

One to share, but another one to get away from each other if they want to.
My sows usually liked to spent part of the night together, but would also like to sleep apart for the other part.
 
Thanx everyone for advice. Will get another one 2moro.
I'm in the pet shop everyday...its like the new asdas for me.:)

hehe! I know just how you feel :)

My two girls had three hidey places in their hutch but only two got used. Pippa had her 'grass house' and Willow chose the dome. Now they're inside with little Pixel, Willow does sometimes still use her own dome, but will also sleep with the other two. I guess it depends on how they're feeling :)
 
Well went out slippin and slidin on the ice to get a new hidey and they are both curled up 2gether in the old one. rolleyes

I got a new one today and Gypsy has taken charge of it. She's sitting inside peeking out the window. Bessie is allowed in sometimes - not others and Mork hasn't been allowed at all! Meanie.
 
My girls share EVERYTHING :) Once i tried to separate them in half and they went mad! :)
