Current pigs stopped wheeking/making noise when I moved a new pig into the room?

[Tofu_Consumer]

I am planning to bond a new pig into my herd (2). But they have stopped wheeking and generally not interacting as much since the new pig is in the room. It’s weird especially since my one pig is super vocal. Any reason why? Should I be worried?

If you are concerned about this in relation to their future bonding, then it wouldn’t necessarily be any reflection as to whether the bond will succeed or fail.
Any bonding comes down to compatibility - but also the age of your current sows , the age of the new sow and whether they want another pig in with them.
You simply won’t know until you try

(To add, given we don’t know the sex of your pigs - if your current two piggies are boys, please don’t attempt to add a third in with them - it’s usually a recipe for disaster)

Oh oops. All females, 3 males sounds stressful for everyone involved lol. Also, good to know it’s not telling of if the bond will work or not. Thank you!

Please give them all time to settle down first and don't rush this stage. The less stressed piggies are going into a bonding, the less risk of fear-aggressive over-reactions you will have.
