Here's the update on the H's - They were in the "drying off" hutch all last night. Huxley was chattering at Hamish at every opportunity, which meant Hamish stayed in one corner, Huxley in the other as far away from each other as possible. There was no fighting and Hamish did eat. Today i put them back into a nice clean hutch but with a mesh divider in between, Hamish went into his half first & seemed happy until i put Huxley into his half, Hamish copped for him and dived for cover into his pigloo (not realising there was mesh between them).
He came out later (to eat his veg) but when i looked in on them again they both seemed really sad, both hidden away in their pigloos. I thought i'd made a mistake separating them so i re-introduced them (they'd been "apart" approx 4-5 hours by this time).
They head nudged each other first, Hamish opened his mouth really wide & then they started chasing each other round with teeth chattering, rather than a full blown fight start i went to separate them and i got chattered at, in the end i had to scoop Huxley up in a pigloo to return him back to his half of the hutch. Now i don't know if i've done the right thing.
Do you think their friendship is over or do you think i should try again and let them sort it out or should i leave them as they are? Will they be happy on their own?
They can see each other and they can hear the other piggies, what would you do if you were me?
