Bonding help!

I got two guineas from the RSPCA today and they are in the run with my original two guineas. Apart from a little bit of nudging they seem to get on ok.
Can i put them in one hutch all together tonight?
Help!

Congratulations on your new additions! When you take a new piggy home to be introduced to other piggies it's usually best to keep them away from the new piggies for at least a fortnight in case the new ones have any health issues. Don't panic though I didn't know this either when I got my other piggy so done the same as you. As for leaving them all together overnight my personal feeling on this is that you shouldn't do it. They may look as if they are okay but fights can break out so quickly. I would take things slowly letting them get to know each other during supervised floor time and at lap time. After that if things are going okay then start putting them in the same cage but keep a very careful eye on them until you are totally satisfied that they are okay together. Remember this is just my take on things someone else may have different ideas to give you help. Good luck with your new arrivals!

Boars or sows?

Sows should be fine together IMO, they are a lot more accepting than boars, providing you keep a close eye on them today and make sure there are no power rows ;D

They had the all clear from the centres vet but i should probably have quarantined them....
They look like they have been mates for years!
They have been playing for 4 hours now! x

If you have rehomed from a rescue that will have vet checked them, I wouldnt worry about quarentine
