Junior Guinea Pig
I am currently trying to bond a new sow into my herd (of 2 sows and 1 neutered boar), and the new sow, Sprout, is very timid. The top sow groomed her a bit and is otherwise disinterested, but the other two keep rumbling and chasing her, and she just keeps squealing and running away teeth chattering. I know this is all normal behaviour, but I'm worried because every now and then my original 3 will calm down and either lie down or eat hay, but Sprout just sits frozen not eating or lying down and runs away if one of the others gets close. Does it sound like there's hope or does it sound like it's not going to happen for them?
