Out of cage time

[Qpigs]

I have two sisters who were separated about 2 years ago due to an ear biting incident. They have good-sized c&c cages next to each other. I'm wondering about letting them out the cage to roam around the room a bit but I'm not sure if this is a good idea.

Firstly, I'm guessing that despite the space they will have to explore, it's not a good idea letting them both out at once.
Secondly, if I let one out and then the other, are there likely to be any territorial issues?

Thanks in advance for your knowledge

They can’t free roam the room at the same time. If they don’t like each other enough to share a cage then they can’t have any time together out of the cage. (It would be very stressful for them to do so)

You absolutely can let them out separately to free roam though. There will not be any territorial issues as that floor space outside the cage wouldn’t be seen as their territory.

Hi

I agree with @Piggies&buns . Piggies, who are not getting on won't be friends in whatever setting they come face to face again and the same old problems will only resurface.

See it like that: You and your ex-best friend who split after a fight and are still living in adjoining flats are not suddenly mysteriously falling in love all over again only because you meet in the local park and find the park gate locked.

Piggies have a very good memory and can hold onto their grudges for years just as much as any humans. Especially sows and even more so sisters. Not until very old age - if you are lucky.

My Tegan dumped her rescue-dated new (neutered) husband within 2 hours of arriving home with me and would spend the next 4 years (she lived to 8 years old) telling him through the bars that she wouldn't have him back even if he was the last boar in the world.
Thankfully, her 5 years old mother Tesni was less fussy and fell head over heels in love with 5 months old Gethin until she died aged 7 years two years later. Gentle natured Gethin found a new enduring love in his new baby-wife Carys; he lived to 6 years old.
