introducing a new friend

[kaw]

hi all, i have recently got a mother and daughter pair of piggies. the mummy is 3, not sure how old her daughter is, but i was wondering would it be ok to introduce a new baby girl in with them or not?
thanks in advance for any welcome advice

Steady supervised introduction on neutral ground its worked for me.Keep close eye there may be some dominance behaviour at first.
All the best

Here are more tips for introductions. http://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=38562

Look out for too strong bullying behaviour from the two bigger girls. A certain amount is to be expected to "put the little one in her place", but she should not be isolated or pushed off the food too much!

I've introduced many pigs together.
I definately think baby pigs automatically click and are friends.
With an older and a younger pig they're may be some rumbling etc. But should settle down within a few days.

Also if you introduce them in a clean cage, with lots of hideys and plenty of food etc.

Let us know how it goes!
