Sorry for posting this twice but wasn't sure where to put it for maximum advice ......
Bing (who's just had a stroke) is steadily getting better each day which is great but I now have a dilemma....
I got Tribbles a while back and she lives with Bing and her 2 daughters. I had noticed that Tribbles was being troublesome and causing a bit of havoc in the cage but nothing too serious I thought. Anyway I have been giving Bing supervised time in the cage with the others and almost every time I do there is a sort of cafuffle. Last 2 times Bing has ended up screaming and I've had to remover her and she was crying. Today tried again and again I had to remove her screaming. Tribbles is the culprit...she is nipping the others I think. Anyway this time I removed Tribbles and .....
complete harmony is restored to the cage. Bing is back with her girls and seems happier and is able to move around which I feel is important. However Tribbles is sulking and hiding underneath the vet bed of the temp box I've put her in and wont come out. Obviously I cannot leave Tribbles in this little hospital box for long but I would like to leave Bing in her home. Long term what can I do with Tribbles ? She is a demon. When I was cuddling her today she nipped my boobs.... she is truly horrible....but I do still love her and she is still very young. Should I get another cage and another girl pig as company for her or is there anything I can do to reintegrate them all although it has to be said that looking back it would seem they were never harmonious.
Do you think that it is remotely possible that the stress of being persecuted by Tribbles is what could have caused Bing to have a Stroke ?
