Help!

I picked little Harley up over 2 weeks ago, and after a period of seperation I decided to introduce him to the girls.

Well everything was going ok till this morning. Nibbles and Harley had a fight 8... Nibbles has a cut by her nose, its not bleeding just looks bad.

Q1- Do I need to take nibbles to the vets?
Q2- Should i try bonding again?

There was a lot of noise and teeth clicking.

Was it a scratch or a bite as if it's a bite seperate a scratch was probably unintentional, they don't sound like happy chappie's tho

Not sure if it was a scratch or bite. Its not deep just looks like hes broken the skin.
Poor Nibs is really not happy if hes around so i have seperated them.

Do I give the a cooling off period? I just dont want to put the back together and omthing worse happen when i'm out.

I can't really help you, but I'm sorry it hasn't worked out. Hopefully someone will be able to help you out and give you some more advice

Is Harley neutered? How big is their space?

If you want to try them again, I would do so in a neutral space and somewhere where nopig can be cornered. Some dominant sows won't accept a male around, but that is usually more evident right from the beginning.

They may not accept each other again - once piggies really fall out, that's it usually.

Yeah he is neutered. They have a 2x4 cc cage with a 1x2 hay loft, witch i added another 3x1 onto to make an L shape on top.

They where fine to start. Might let them cool off for a day or so then try again. Just dont know what to do for the best.

Ive put him in a seperate cage.
Would you put him out the way for a few days and try introductions from scratch again?

Any help would be great?
