New Born Pup
Hello all!
I've recently re-homed a 3 month-old little guy called Guinness (creative... I know!) and just wanted to check I'm doing everything right and ask some advice.
He's currently in an outdoor 2-tier hutch/cage with what I hope is plenty of space (each level is 2ft x 5ft). Whilst he's getting used to his new home, I've just kept him to one level as I thought that the entire of the hutch might be a bit overwhelming and seem a bit lonely for a single piggie. That leads on to something I'm unsure of...
I know that he really needs a friend long term but I'm unsure when to do this? Would it be best to give him a buddy ASAP so they can start bonding together, or should I give him some time on his own to become comfortable with his new home first? As he's not neutered, I'm planning to get another boy to go with him - is this the best option for the both of them?
Thanks in advance! x
