bonding a trio

Hi, I have a group consisting of a neutered male and two females. I don't know the age of the male but I would say he is between 3 and 4 years old. He is a pretty relaxed piggy. I adopted my females (two sisters) back in july 2023 and they were around 2-3 months. So now they are around 2 years...

Hiya. I have 2 sows currently, both around 10 months old and one is more dominant. They don't fight, but they chase each other a bit and kick each other out of the hides. I'm not sure if they're happy and I think they might benefit from a larger social group. Someone in my area is selling baby...

Hello everyone, so recently i picked up a small I'm guessing 4 month ish pig off Craigslist, and began introducting her to my almost 1 year old sows, i live in a packed house so it wasnt possible and continues not to be, for me to find a neutral space inside but i regularly take my 2 outside, i...

Unfortunately last night my oldest girl Olive peacefully passed away, I already miss her so much. This leaves her sister Pepper alone, I gave her a soft toy last night and this morning she came over as normal for her breakfast and is eating and drinking. She is a shy, easily spooked pig due to...

Hi, I have bit of a bonding problem and I cannot seem to figure out how to solve it. I've have 8 guinea pigs over the years and have been able to bond them successfully. However, awhile ago I got a new piggy named Rocky. There are two others I'm trying to bond him with, Einstein and Cataldo...

Hello, first post so please be kind. Quick background we have had two adult brothers for about a year. We got a female, kept her separate and she must have been pregnant when we got her. We were surprised with two beautiful babies that I’ve sexed to be one male and female. We’ve kept mom and 2...

Following my initial thread, which can be found here... I have now reached a stage where bonding is finally going to happen soon. First the boar had to be 6 months before neutering could be done, then I was told by the vet that he had to be at least 1kg, because otherwise there could be...

Hi, I have 4 guinea pigs (Blossom, Totoro, Bilbo and Ponyo). Blossom, Totoro, and Bilbo are almost 6 months old. We don't know the age of Ponyo, but we know he is an adult and at least 1 year old. At first, we had two guinea pigs that came from different places and that we had bonded, their...

As a first time guinea pig owner and after reading a lot about them, I decided to have just two female guinea pigs who were about 2,5 months old when I got them. I was told they had been together since birth so they got along very well. I built them a 6 x 2,1 C&C cage. They had lots of space and...

So, we adopted a baby boy who is just so precious. I know I didn’t research the bonding process before, and now all I am reading is how adding a third can disrupt the dynamic of the pair. Right now I have the baby in his own cage to start “introducing” them, and I was going to introduce one at a...

I’m currently attempting to bond an already bonded pair of sows with my lone girl. After lots of teeth chattering, rumbling, a few lunges and and chasing, all three are finally settled. But I’m worried as it did seem quite aggressive. Can I just leave the three of them together now? Or do they...

Hello, I got a New Guinea to join my 2 girls. The new one (s’more) and my youngest (cricket) didn’t seem to have any issues, didn’t nip or really seem to care about each other. However s'more and my oldest (poppy) were not so good. S’more is a lot bigger than both of my girls. S’more nipped as...

Hi, I’m new to this forum and new to piggies, having only become an owner 2 months ago. We thought we’d been sold a pair of girls but we found out last week that one of them was pregnant! We asked the vet to check the other to see if it was a boy after all but the vets collectively couldn’t be...

I recently got two male guinea pigs for my senior guinea pig, whose cage mate died in March. Right away during the bonding time, my senior guinea pig (Coco) started humping and nibbling the other guinea pigs. Since nothing out of ordinary was going on, I continued with the bonding process and...

Hi I have two 3 1/2 month old females and have seen an advert in my local area for a 5 month old female who is alone due to another pig passing. I feel really sorry for this lonely piggy and wanted to get your thoughts on introducing this female to my pair. I appreciate that successful bonding...

I had females growing up and introducing them was pretty easy. I’ve heard boys are a lot more difficult. I adopted my boy, Wilbur, about a year and a half ago. He’s about 3-4 now, and I was told he lived on his own his whole life but seemed interested in the guinea pigs in the neighboring cage...

Hi everyone, Please read everything I've done before replying. I'm looking for people who've successfully bonded trio's of Piggie's together which I know is RARE but I just don't want to give up any sort of hope yet! - I have read the guides on the pages about Bonding boars and signs to look...
