Well just an update, I collected a friend for Dudley today from west Suffolk rspca, his name is Uriah (URI for short)
they had a bonding session earlier and only rumbled a couple of times. They ate now back at home next to each other.
Dudley is used to having the run of the lounge in the evenings but so I don't make URI feel left out I have Dudley in. He's chewing the bars like mad, should I let him out or just ride it out? X
 
They are in a c and c cage with grid down the middle, is it classed as seperating them if all I'd be doing is opening one of the doors as they live in the lounge on a floored cage so can still get back in a
gain when they want to? X
 
This morning I swapped each over into the others side of the cage as advised. Left them to it today and this evening had them both out in a different room for a bonding session over a plate of veg.
they sat happily sharing food but after lots of munching started having a wander. Lots of sniffing and rumble strutting. A mount each, lots of twitching when bums were sniffed and a bit of teeth chatter from Newie Uri, although he followed Dudley around when he wandered.
they had about 30 mins together before I put them back in their own sides.
does this sound OK for their first. Session of bonding? Should I do this each nite for a few days? And how will I know when its time to put them in together fully?

Its so hard not intervening when they start rumbling etc ad ibnaturally want to protect them from falling out.
support needed please to tell me if I'm doing right xx
 
awwwwwww that's good :) :)
They have to decide who's gonna be boss piggie...... be ready with a towel to throw over them and pick one up if needs be.....tho it does sound like you're doing great x)
Looking forward to lots more pigtures of the boys together x)x)x)
 
thanks Glynis I'll keeep you posted, if anyone can answer my questions it would be much appreciated please :{
