After letting our Mashy gets used to her surrounding for 2 days, today we changed a bit the cage and put in a mesh so that all of them can get to know each other and interact with each other. We hope to get a trio again, after Muffin passe away last week.
Our castrated boar, Pufu, would be very happy with an additional wife.

There is a lot of chatting between Pufu and Marshmallow and a fair share of rumble strutting from Pufu.
What is worrying me though, is the teeth chattering from Marshmallow, but only from her side. I was reading that if teeth chattering is involved, then the bonding will fail and that females don't really change their mind about liking/not liking another piggy. After some time though, the teeth chattering stopped...so, I am having hopes.
Both of them are tying the chew the separator and both of them were even at the same time on their back paws.
Between the girls was only normal wheeking, no teeth involved. There was no ruble strutting from Marshmallow, but Cupcake was ruble strutting, to my surprise.

I will keep them with the mesh for some time and observe them.
