New piggy 🐷

[Piggie.doodles]

Hey guys! I’m getting a new piggy (female) to go with my two girls (see photos below!) I’ve never really bonded guinea pig before or anything so do you have any advice? Do you have any name suggestions Thank you p.s. gold and white piggy is the new piggy,black with white paw piggy is called popcorn, tri coloured piggy is called peanut.

Awww so cute!
As she looks young, you need to carry out the bonding immediately, after you have checked her sex for yourself. Piggies under four months of age are desperate for company and cannot be kept separate.

this guide details how to do a bonding, but you need to put them all in a neutral space (somewhere your current piggies do not view as their own space) with just a pile of hay (no hides), then leave them for several hours to establish themselves.

Do I not have to quarantine her?

Congratulations on your new addition. Beautiful girls you have!

Do I not have to quarantine her?

if she is under four months of age, then no you cannot quarantine. Piggies under four months need immediate bonding due to their high social needs. You have to just accept the risk of potential transmission of illnesses

Hope all goes well and your beautiful new baby has a long and happy life with you and her new cage mates
