Hi everyone,
As I mentioned in another thread, tomorrow we're going with Brie, our (new!) one-month old sow, to a shelter so she can choose a sow to become her roommate.
She has two 'friends' at home, her brothers (we adopted all three of them), but as they have to live separately, she feels quite lonely.
I have sort of chosen a one-year old Abyssinian sow, but we'll see if they like each other.
So, this is where I was heading... how will I be able to tell if they like each other during their 'date'?
Also, I've read that during the bonding process they'll have to live separately, is that right? If so, how long will they have to live apart? (I worry that instead if having one sad and lonely guinea pig, I'll end up with two sad piggies!)
Sorry I ask so many silly questions.
