It has been a rather long time since I have done a bonding I have adopted a beautiful pair of sows (Sally and addy -3) with the view to bond them with my existing pair of sows (marshmallow -4 and caramel-3) but if it doesn't work out between them it is no big deal as they will live happily as two pairs.
Currently they are neighboured and will be for at least a week there has been some grooming near the divide and face licks through the divide so far which I'm hoping are positive signs no signs of teeth chattering etc. Can someone please remind me of positive and negative signs at the neighbours stage and how to tell when they are ready for bonding on neutral ground? Sally and addy are known to be extra shy and timid but I'm very proud of them as they have both taken food from hand for the first time today and have spent a lot of time lounging out in the open
