Had my 2 girls 2 years nearly now... both came from the same place but never been best friends like I hoped. They don't fight as such ... depending on time of their cycles so to speak they get a little annoyed with each other and need space. That's all . I started with costs they cud share etc but soon realised they were happier in 2 separate ones so always gave that option. Sometimes they go in same but spaced apart. Today I went in and the timid one had her head resting on the back of the other cuddling up... just gone back in now and they both lay side by side heads touching ... my heart melted they looked sooo cute. Can they after 2 years suddenly become best friends ? I love it. I hope they stay like this now
 
Piggies can bond more closely over time as they get past their initial fear-aggression and relax. It is often our expectations of snuggly pairs that get in the way of perceiving a pair that is doing their own stuff as not well bonded.

I would however also recommend checking both girls in case one of them is not quite well. Changes in behaviour can often be the first sign that something is not right. Just to be on the safe side!
 
Thanks @Wiebke didn't think of that ... tilly has recently had dental care but she s eating and squeaking good at the moment
