Yes - either fresh fleece or use the bonding fleece - either way is fine
I did this when I was bonding and it worked well. It tells them the 'new' territory is theirs
Thank you! We’ll do that.

Yes, we will keep her name so as not to confuse her. First Ophelia and Bianca, now Ophelia and Betsie.If I recall she came with that name? Are you keeping it? My cat came with the name Barrett and I just kept it.
It’s just as well she came with a nice name as I’d have been tempted to call her Cappuccino with that colouring!If I recall she came with that name? Are you keeping it? My cat came with the name Barrett and I just kept it.
Such a relief and so lovely to see a happy Betsie. We’re proceeding with caution, though. Some open-ended fabric hideys are coming tomorrow to tide them over until we feel confident that we can put the mini-hutches back in. Presumably, we can eventually put the run back as it was, though?I’m so pleased it has all gone well!

So in this instance (when we reinstate the old set-up) we don’t use fresh bedding. I’ll have to remember to leave the smaller fleeces out for them to walk over, before returning to the old set-up and putting the fleeces in the hutches. Thank you very very much. In the midst of all this washing, I’d forgotten all the times when you need it to smell!Yes you should be able to.
Remembering that changing the cage constitutes change of territory so all the usual advice of making sure not to use fresh bedding when you change it back and making sure the hutches smell of both of them

It has been gallons of therapeutic ice-cream for us in this heat! They get ice pods so as not to escalate our stress any further.From my limited experience bonding sows is very dramatic.
Coffee and chocolate are absolute essentials for the humans involved![]()
