Hi everyone, first of all, I just wanted to say that sadly one of my guinea pigs has died :'(
. I have never posted about her, the posts I have made in the past are about my other guinea pig Lottie who is still here today and seems to have recovered from whatever she had in the past (thank you for the advice for helping her, it seems to have worked!). But Dottie died of a kidney condition (i am not sure which one). Anyway, to prevent Lottie from being lonely, I have bought two new baby guinea pigs! (their names are Molly and Polly). I have put a wire mesh divider in the cage so Lottie can see the two and I am watching to see what she thinks of them. So far, Lottie seems to be very interested in the new piggies and is not showing any signs of aggression towards them 
. I have been getting the new piggies out and letting them run around in a large closed - off area of my room (they enjoy it very much and love to popcorn around!). After a few times of getting just the new piggies out, I decided to get Lottie out too. At first, I had Lottie on my lap and let the little ones sniff her and they look at each other. Then I put Lottie on the floor with them ( with a small blanket ready to throw over her if she became aggressive). They looked at each other for a bit and showed no signs of aggression towards each other and the little ones started running around again. After a while, I put them all back in their parts of the cage and Lottie seemed very intrigued by what the new piggies were doing and were looking at them a lot through the mesh. She even stood on her back legs and leaned against it looking as if she wanted to get over to them. Yet again she seemed to show no aggressive behaviour towards them. Finally, I just wanted to ask, what I should do to help the piggies get to know each other and when I should take the divider out. Thanks again for all the help and support - Livi.
