Its a bit late for that now :x.
I'll check her over again but all seams well with her, may give them all a bath later.
 
You're new girl is lovely what a beauty! You must be so proud of your new girl:)

I would remove her from the other piggies asap, as she may have an undetected health issue and one which may be spread from one pig to another such as chest infections, or even in the worst case- mites -which can cost alot of money with vet bills, treatment and not only the money side can be a very distressing time too for the piggies. (We've just had a case of mites with our four guinea's- one unfortunately was PTS recently thankfully the other four have all had treatment so far its costs us over one hundred pounds with vet visits, treatment) however after a month of treatments and many vet visits later they are on the mend.

I also want to caution you on health issues as when I first got my two boys I didn't quarantine them and Artie ended up with a URI, and a eye infection thankfully it was picked up by the vet early and I separated him and his friend Harvey as soon as i got home and Harvey never caught it.

I know its quite exciting getting a new piggie, and introducing them all together and it can seem a lot of fuss keeping them separate but i just wanted to stress the difficulties that can happen with piggies and illnesses, so it is advised to keep them separated for at least three weeks.
: ) Honestly it is worth it in the long run!

Awwww. lovely. x)

But definatley please take on boards peoples advice regarding quarantine. I know it's tempting to get them all together but it saves a lot of stress and most importantly health trouble for your lovely piggies by seperating for a while. 3 Weeks is no time in the long run.

Thank you for sharing your pigtures.
