Hello
We had 2 lovely elderly piggies from family who no longer wanted them. Unfortunately one died a few weeks ago and her sister was very sad. So we decided to get 2 more (mother and baby) from a rescue centre. I have tried to bond them all yesterday in the outdoor run.
It wasn't too bad although our Zebra was too dominant with the new baby so then she and the mum had small disagreements. Anyway decided to put them all together in large playhouse about 4m sq connected to 2x4ft hutch. The mum has chased Zebra into the hutch and if she does comes out she gets angry if she sees them and runs away.
Not happy about this because she was there first and now she is banished to hutch ( I have put extra food and water up there for her). Is it likely that they will get along or is this it - I was worried about the mother and daughter combination as thought that there would be two dominant females but centre said would be ok.
