Maud has proved a difficult girl to bond. After spending a week at TEAS she came home without a new friend and having been very naughty and bitten Debbie during one failed bonding attempts. We were starting to worry that she would not accept another piggy after losing Milo.

However, last weekend Maud went to The Potteries GP Rescue and met tiny baby Esme who was born in the rescue a few weeks ago. Maud must not feel threatened by little Esme and they are settling down together quite nicely. There is an occasional nose bop during veggie time but none of the aggression she has shown previously during bonding. Esme is completely black except for one front paw and is a very cute fluff ball. She is difficult to photograph because she is never still for very long and her black colouring doesn't help, i only got this one because i bribed them with grass.

A big thank you to both TEAS and The Pottteries for all your help with Maud.

What a brilliant result, Esme is gorgeous :wub: It’s great that Maud has found a little friend. Enjoy the fun x
 
Hello Esme you is very tiny! I'm glad that you and Maud like each other and that you now have a friend to look up to and learn from.
 
What a little cutie to breach Maud's heart. :love:

It can be so tricky to find a new friend for some bereaved sows but patience and persistence will often win out. I am currently playing the dating game with Sisu/Sulwen and the Tribe...

No bites, though - just too much confrontational fear-aggressive behaviour from Sulwen so far.
 
Welcome little Esme and how lovely Maud has a friend she has accepted! My boys came from the Potteries too. I hope Esme continues settling in well, she's beautiful (as is Maud) :love:
 
Esme is adorable so glad Maude found her little neice! such a nice happy day for both of them :)
 
Welcome little Esme.
Great news. So pleased Maude has found a new friend.
Looking forward to hearing all about their adventures.xx
 
Baby Esme cuddles. She is settling in really well and Maud is fine with her as long as Esme doesn't go near her favourite fleece tunnel. That is definitely not allowed. Neither does she like Esme fraternising with the boys through the C&C during floor time. Esme gets chased away and Maud chatters her teeth at the boys. She is very protective of her new friend.8bfe2ead-62c0-48a3-957f-009cbc579669-1_all_83623.webp

Oh Esme you little flirty girlie ❤️
 
Miss Bramble will approve, Maud is obviously making sure that Esme stays "nice" 😁
Baby Esme is being a naughty young piggy, flaunting herself at the boys. Maud was frantic yesterday when when both our boys were rumble strutting at Esme. Esme seems to like all the attention, she doesn't understand yet that boys mean TROUBLE. Maud will keep her 'nice', she thinks boys are the root of all evil.
 
Here is Esme being a bit too friendly with Arfur. She is so outgoing and has no fear of us. I got a nip tonight when she thought I had held her for too long. A piggy weighing less than 300g biting a large potential predator, that is real attitude.😀
