New Born Pup
Hello all you wonderful piggy people.
I have a trio currently (1 neutered boar and 2 sows)
Gus- 2 year old Neutered Boar
Clover- 7 month old Sow, Dominant
Maisy- 7 month old Sow, runt of the litter, very submissive and skittish
(The sows are sisters and came together)
I noticed that Maisy is almost always by herself on the opposite end of the cage and even during floor time she's always away from the other two. Gus and Clover have a very good bond and are always together, eating, sleeping, running around, you name it they are doing it together. I feel so bad for Maisy and wonder if finding another sow to add to the group would help or if I should bond her separately with another sow and split them into two groups of two. Clover is a very dominant sow so I don't want to disrupt that by adding another but I also worry the new addition won't bond with Maisy either and then I'm back to square one. Or should I leave it all as is and just keep all 3 together and not worry about it?
Thanks all!
