Pickle accepted her new friend with no issues, we ate together, groomed each other and now we appear to have a dominance stand off.

I am almost certain that Pickles behaviour is fear, I have disturbed them to stop it escalating with vegetables. I think I'll have to keep a close eye over the next few hours worse case scenario I may have to take a few to try again with the introductions.

We are currently sleeping, we shall see what happens next!

 
Your video isn’t working. But fingers crossed they can sort it out. How long was she with new piggy before you brought them home? Remember it will take two weeks for them to settle in together. 🤞🏾
 
Hopefully you can see the video now, unfortunately the girls seem to have had an argument. I thought they were calming down however it escalated thankfully nobody was hurt and I have them side by side.

I'm not sure the bond is completely broken and I will probably try again in a few days to see if we can re-introduce them. Girls.... Honestly! 😂
 
🤦🏾‍♀️ honestly, wouldn’t it be easier if they all just yes! Are you going to try them again tomorrow?
 
No, I'm going to try them next Friday give them some time living side by side.

Worse case scenario, it's side by side living.
 
I am thinking side by side living is the way forward:


Ideal world they would live together this world isn't ideal. 😂
 
Oh dear! Sorry it didn’t work out 🤦🏾‍♀️
 
Aw, what a shame! I had a major disappointment with Hector bonding with Posh and Ginger after we lost Ted. Posh actually fell out with Ginger, they are fine now together but the mind boggles, it was as if she was jealous of the attention Ginger (the underpin) was getting off Hector. Luckily Debbie furryfriend bonded a lovely little baby girl Kiki for Hector and they are so smitten with each other (Posh and Ginger are happy too)
 
It was all looking so hopeful initially, @flintstones 😅 But Pickle was just on best bonding behaviour at the rescue to show my Belle how things should go I think!


I have moved Belle back into the Ferplast cage and she looks well pleased with herself, having well and truly shown herself to be Mrs. Queen of the castle.

Our pigs both seem to enjoy their own space and woe betide anyone that gets too close. The pair of them have had quite an adventure these past 2 weeks:gp:


Belle is preparing for the next bonding:
