New Born Pup
Hi all,
Today I adopted a new piggy from a sanctuary. She is understandably scared and stressed by the move.
I've popped her in a cage on her own for now, just to let her chill out for awhile before I start the bonding process with my other piggy. I've covered her cage to help her feel safer.
She's currently been sat in a hidey for about 3 hours, and not come out for any veg, hay or water. I've put some fruit and veg inside the hidey and she not even touched that. I think she's too scared.
Is there anything else I can do to help her feel comfortable?
I'm also wondering how long I should leave her be for, before it becomes a concern?
Should I continue to give her space, or should I actually just go ahead and pop them both in the neutral bonding cage now because having an another piggy there might make her feel safer?
