Hi we've had a bit of a traumatic week and gone from 3 piggies to 1 piggie (unrelated issues), my piggy seems to be ok for now (eating well and quite active). I'm very apprehensive about getting another piggy but I can't bare ours to be alone. Our local (fantastic) piggy sanctuary doesn't have any available at the moment and all the pet stores (boo!) only have boars. I just can't bare for my little one to be alone.
A college of my husband's has three piggies and has offered two to us (one she has sold to another single sow) I've had piggies from a breeder (terrible mistake) and from a rescue centre before. The sows are 12 weeks old (selling because of an allergy) and bonded and my sow is eight months old.
Do you think it would be ok to take these piggies and introducing them to my sow if they are bonded? Would it make it harder or easier to bond? I have two cages if it would be better to keep them next to each other initially (we did this with our previous piggy) but I'm worried about how long my piggy will end up being alone for. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
