Gullfaks
Junior Guinea Pig
Hi!
I just started the bonding process of my two very shy sows, its been about 20 minutes and they are still sitting togethers in a corner. I’ve had Snøhvit for 1 year, and just got Magma.
First they just sat completely still, then they both purred quite a bit. After some smelling, Magma started to clean herself in front of Snøhvit. Is that a sign of accepting Snøhvits dominance?
A few minutes after, Snøhvit started to lick Magmas head - which I thought would show Snøhvits acceptance of Magmas dominance.
This seems confusing.
They are now still purring a bit, but no fighting or chasing. Still sitting togethers in the corner, but they start to seem interested to explore their temporary cage setup for the introduction phase.
Any advice on what I should look for next?
Thanks for all feedback! This is the first bonding I amever doing
