Sadly, this morning I found Nia with a classic ringworm patch on her cheek which hadn't been there yesterday, so I had to engineer a flying swapover with the separation cage in the hall.

As a result, I have introduced Ceri and Heulwen, who have bonded closely over the last couple of months, to my Trio a little bit earlier than planned this afternoon. I finally got on top of Ceri's fungal problem with an ongoing course of systemic oral treatment about two weeks ago, but she still has an irregular heartbeat and a compromised immune system, so no big group for her!

As Ceri already knows all three piggies of the Trio (Terfel, Taffy and Tegyd), introductions went with a minimum of fuss. Timid Heulwen just took her cues from Ceri and seems to be quite excited by her new home and extended family. There was a lot of the piggy version of "hugs and kisses" during the intro, and of course some humping from Terfel!

They are all lovely :), I love those big round piggy bottoms lol, Hope the ring worm is sorted soon.
 
The Troop is settling in very well together; Heulwen seems to love her new home and family.
 
awww what a lovely troop!

On sunday I introduced Andora and Mat to Alice, Sprout and Blodwyn, and there was no major squabbling. Hopefully they'll all be able to live together soon in a herd of 5! Its nice when they get on :)
 
Bloomin ringworm is a pain isn't it!

Looks like a very happy little group though. x
 
They make such a lovely troop. Hope you get over the ringwork outbreak soon.

Troop? Makes them sound like a group of little monkeys :))

I think the result for any food that happens to get in the way is the same - and if you saw Taffy and Tegyd scaling the grids at every mealtime, you'd think they had a monkey gene! :))
 
Pleased to see the new group working well together Wiebke! Lucky little Terfel!

Sorry to hear about the ringworm though :( hope you can finally get rid of it this time!
