Junior Guinea Pig
Hello,
These are our gorgeous girls.....
Lily...

Milly...

Lily is all better now so it was time to try and slowly introduce the two girlies. Didn't go to plan at all :{
The spare cage I had for Milly was plastic sided so the vet suggested I split the main cage into two so that the two girls could see and smell each other.
I did a homemade divider and as I had two of everything, pigloos, bowls etc, everthing should have been fine.
But....we went to bed and when we got up in the morning the two wee monkeys had managed to break through the divider!
However, both piggies seem to be doing ok. I have read a lot on here about introducing piggies and so far nothing out of the ordinary that I can see. I think Lily is trying to be boss at the moment and they both still prefer their own pigloos but no fighting, just a bit of chasing etc. They are happy to sit together and share hay and food so that's a good start? They have a crazy half hour in the evening and there is loads of popcorning. Milly has calmed down quite a lot and will take a bit of veg from me, as long as she is half hidden in her pigloo. Lily is still scared pig but if I stand and talk to her she'll come out for a wee look x)
They both still don't like being picked up but hopefully this will get better with time.
