No, l am sorry to contradicte my self :lol!:
try out of sight out of smell


you are loosing nothing to try :D
 
How big is your cage? Personally I think putting their food bowl on a platform is not a good idea, the dominant pig will hog the bowl & stop the other getting to it :( They need 2 of everything to stop squabbles & a cage with more floor space rather than platforms & ramps (which is a risk that they may fall off) would be better for them & there would be less chance of them falling out with each other :)
 
I'm thinking about giving up peaches to a good home with piper being such a bully i don't think its fair to keep her :bye::no::( .I don't want to .I will give it a week or 2 and see how it goes
 
I'm 50% sure peaches is sick she has sat in a corner of her old cage i moved her because i was worry about piper getting sick:vom: as well .
but also today before i moved her she was up on the platform i have their food on and she was sitting in her poo and pee ... I'm calling the petshop i got her from in the morn:hb: this is not the first time i have got a sick pet from them my :hb::hb::hb::evil: :box:

Hi, the reason your pigs are bickering and one of them is unhappy is almost certainty because your cage really is far far too small for them. Levels don't count as flooring, only the base counts. They need room too run about on. I think 120cm is a minimum requirement. It's not very safe to expect a successful bonding when they don't have the space to get away from each other when arguments start and will be a very stressful experience.
Please, please consider getting your piggies a bigger cage. I'm sure everyone here will be more than willing to help you find an appropriate sized and cheap cage. :)

Hi Gypsy-pig, I have replied to a thread you look at in the commercial cage section where you posted pictures or your thread - I have posted an idea on how you can use your existing cage but convert it to make it bigger for the piggies, hope you check it out as I am sure your piggies would love it.:)
 
I have saw your other thread, it could be an hay poke and is important you are going to the vets with her with it. So well done for getting an appointment she'll probably need antibiotic drops

I wouldn't separate them. But it is important you get another cage for your piggies, that one is a unfortunately too small. You can get some bargains on ebay 120cm cages are wonderful for two piggies.

Hope Peaches gets better soon. x
