Burnie's gorgeous but I've slightly fallen in love with Dot, she looks just like our old piggy Honey (we had when I was a teenager), a lovely girl that it turned out was pregnant when we got her! So started with 2 piggies and ended up with 5!
She was my mum's and her friend was mine, a grey lad that had 'her' name changed to Trevor!
Were separated then of course!

But go Dot and Burnie anyway! x
 
What does this mean. The ear licking? He started eating something after from her ear . Wax probably lol
 
Don't worry too much about the licking, my Jess does it constantly, whether pig or human!
If it wasn't liked there would be more telling off noises/behaviours!

I really like that he licks her ear, its good to see them actually making contact lol. I meant she gets ratty with him when her interterstial cystitis flares up. She likes to hide and lay down
 
You know whats weird. Now when i try to pick them up to get them out of the cage, Burnie bites my shoulder pretty hard or my t shirt and Dot just doesnt want to be caught atall. But before they were bonded they were very happy to be caught and come out. Its like they think things are going to go back to being seperate again
 
Yeah my Rupert Bear gets a bit annoyed with her when he's having his bladder issues, they just want a bit of tongue-free peace sometimes!
Hopefully he'll learn to give her some when she lets him know a few more times!

It could be as they were both alone for so long. My lot hate being picked up but are fine once they are.

They've not been together long so may just need time to get used to stuff I suppose.
Def agree with @Betsy, thankfully my two are great now with picking up but they are over 5 and 6! Jess used to be terrible! Esp when parted from her man when they were first bonded!
 
I just caught Burnie fully asleep on his side with like glazed over eyes and running on his side. I thought he was having a fit 🤔
 
I cant believe how worried i was for their bonding, and then my two very close gerbils had a fight
 
I've never had gerbils as you know, my old rats prob would have been the same if a lady around though! Had three, then a group of four in tact boys, best mates/brothers, would have caused chaos if a lady around I'm sure!
Why I only kept males or females at a time with them!

My Rupert is an absolute gentleman with his lady, as I'm sure Burnie is, but bring some more smells in and could be different I'm sure! These urges can't be controlled! :)

Burnie is no gentleman, he ran dot over with a zoomie the other night and last night he tipped her house over and hogged the upright one 🤣
