New Born Pup
I have two bonded skinny sows that have lived together happily for over a year now. Every once in a while there will be some rumble strutting but nothing more, and they often sleep closeby out in the open together.
Last week we were having outside time and one of them was injured, and after a trip to the vet they wanted me to separate them for one week so I could closely monitor the injured one. Luckily she recovered very quickly and is now back to full health! Their cages were next to each other the whole time, they could see each other and often sniffed at each other through the gaps in the grid.
I just put them back together and to my surprise they immediately started chattering. After a few minutes of chattering, running around, scent marking, and rumble strutting they actually went at each other and I had to separate them and put them back in their separate cages for now. I want to give them the night to cool off but really want them to get back to living together, as they both get quite lonely on their own.
Does anyone have any advice on reuniting them, or what might be causing the rift?
