Confusion On Introductions

[CarnivalPiggy]

Just a question as will be introducing the girls to Ginny within time. I've seen some people say first introduce them in a neutral territory, but have seen others introduce them first cage next to cage.

When I first got Minja and Teddy, rip, I had no choice but to put their cage next to Ginny's (before I was aware of quarantine) until he was neutered and past post-op, so a while of chatting. Their first proper meet was in the garden and it went off with a hit. How many of you advise cage by cage for an amount of time before a neutral territory meeting or rather just introduce them in a neutral territory off the bat?

Ideally you have your piggies next to each other for at least a day or two if that is possible before you introduce on neutral ground; that means they can get to know each other through the bars and the meeting itself is hopefully a bit less stressed.

Please read this detailed guide. I explains it all stage by stage.
