Hi all!
Got a new piggy just by chance really yesterday on the way home from having albert pts
any way
this little guy was a rescue he is 5 weeks old and the biggest fluff ball you could imagine!
I have a massive cage big enough for 3 or 4 piggys! I cleaned it out and disinfected it all, cleaned down all of Alberts old bits, I still have a piggy called Bert who was left on his own.
So I introduced them together in neutral ground (the bathroom floor :p) with lots of veggies and it went really well, was quite surprised as we had to split Bert and Albert as they did not get on.
So after 30 min on the floor together, all seemed well, we put them in to the big cage together. Bert keeps rumbling and swaying his hips. No teeth chattering at all.
Its just Gizmo has a pigaloo and he goes in and out but Bert seems to sleep next to it, not blocking the door way just next to it.
Is that ok?
When ever Gizmo comes out Bert follows him sniffing his bum and rumble strutting.
With Gizmo only being 5 weeks old, just a little worried this may be a bit to much for him.
I know that putting a much younger piggy in with an older one normally helps with the bonding.
I think I may be worrying over nothing but just like to make sure.
