New Born Pup
Hi all,
I recently adopted a one year old piggy (Dango) and I have a 5 year old piggy at home (Mango.)
Dango was very scared for the first few days and mostly just hiding, and in fact Mango was the one being the dominant at first (chattered her teeth at Dango) but then we noticed she started to open up and they shared food together, etc.
But today (she's been with us for a week at this point), Dango started pulling Mango's hair out on her bum. Mango started crying, sounds like she was asking for our help. We took Mango out of her cage and we noticed that Dango started crying (?) and almost looked like she was looking for Mango. But the moment we put Mango back into the cage, she started following her again, and barbering her. Now, we're giving Dango some time out, we took her outta the cage and put her into the carrier and Mango started eating her veggies (looks like she's relieved no one is bothering her.) Meanwhile, Dango is kinda looking around inside the carrier like "why am I here"
On a side note, we brought Dango to a vet yesterday and I think she was quite stressed because of it and I looked online and they say barbering could be because of stressed. Do you guys think is that why? Any help/suggestions? I really don't know how to leave them overnight today..
