Does Harvey hate me now?

[Maddey72]

Before I got Lolo, Harvey always used to squeak when he wanted attention, or jump up onto my shoulder when he wanted to go back home.
Now he has Loki, he rarely squeaks at me, he doesn't tun up to me in his cage and he always cries for Loki when I take him out of their home.
Does he not want to spend any time with me now?
Or does he just love Loki lots?

Not at all. Her does not hate you. He used to be dependant on you for attention which was not healthy for him. He loves you just as much but he is now dependant on Loki for attention and company. You did the right thing in getting him a friend.

Thank you, I heard about a rescue, and I called them and found out they do piggy dating and also had some 12 week old babies on.
Harvey INSTANTLY fell in love with Loki.
So there happy now.
Harvey used to have a buddy named Darwin, but he past on 30 October last year.

If they pine for eachother when they are out of the cage, have you tried cuddling them together? That way they wont be worried about eachother, and just enjoy your company.

I do try cuddling them together but they are one mischievous pair!
Loki loves to explore, and Harvey can't leave his side, so when I'm trying to cuddle them, Lolo tries jumping out of my arms (I'm usually on my sofa, bed or floor) and Harvey runs after him.
Then they both end up running all over the place.
So it's easier to handle one at a time, but they cry for each other when there away, so it's very difficult!

I sometimes cuddle Loki over there cage so Harvey doesn't panick.
And they can still see each other.
