The Bonding Continues...





Sorry for all the videos but here's a bit of what the pigs have been like today.

Apologies for the darkness of the videos, you can barely see Drom I've just realised lol.

I'll try and take some more and put the light on.
 
Seems to be going fine at the moment. Mostly happy conversational wheaks and squeaks from what I could make out anyway. They just look like they are going about their business like mine do. Bimbling around and mostly ignoring each other in a friendly kind of way!
 



It's started to get heated and Bella has gone for Drom twice (seen in the first video but a bit too dark) and I think she's defending Iggy but I don't know.

Yea see I know there are submissive squeaks and such but it then just turns into stand offs and it's like Drom and Tonks have ganged up on Iggy and Cissy and Bella have taken his side... It's really weird lol.
 
I noticed a bit of rumblestrutting in the first video. Sorry not quite sure which one of your piggies this one is. It is the half white piggie. Then one went for the other. See how it carries on and hold your nerve. I didn't see anything too bad going on there.
 
Part of me wants to just leave the house and let them get on with it, see who lives at the end of it :))

I wish I had thought about that when I did mine - however I left hubby and kids in charge and listened from the other room as I was rebuilding the cage and occasionally shouting 'are they fighting, no then leave them alone'.

Yep that's exactly what I wanna do! But I can't have someone watching them for 24 hours although it would be nice!

I just wanna walk away now or get a definitive yes or no...!

Hey, don't loose the faith. Keep it up I know it is hard but it will be worth it in the long run. If you believe they could harm each other probably don't leave them. however from what I seen in the videos I think they seem fine. That seems like mid to low level aggression/dominance in my opinion. Others with more knowledge may disagree though. I can only go off my own experience.

That's what I'm thinking too! They don't seem to be killing each other!

Go and do something else. Don't stay in the room that you are doing the bonding in. The piggies are going to pick up on your anxiety. All looks fine in the videos xx

Even the scuffles? Man bonding my girls must have been a breeze then 'cause I never saw any of that!

Okay I'll leave them for a bit, thanks for your support guys this is killing me!

I just don't seem to know what's okay and what's not anymore aha.

When will I know I need to separate? Xx

In my limited experience when you see a ball of guinea pigs. - I know not helpful but be brave and it becomes apparent. Jet and Dozy were obvious in the end (although 2 years later bonded).

That's kind of how it was like yesterday between Drom and Iggy so I separated for the night. Now going to get some more food :))
 
They seem a bit more chilled but they're still having their moments! I'm a lot more relaxed too (meditation is paying off! :))) and I'm hoping I can leave them for the night!
 
Scuffles every now and then, but they don't seem to last too long... My nerves aren't doing too well with the big crashes!

it will be fine - Biscuit went for Ziggy the other week and I almost wet myself but half an hour later they were asleep together. Ziggs has just refused to nose lift despite Biscuit asking a number of times. Have faith in them. Xx

Thanks! I don't think I'll see any of them cuddling any time soon haha but I just want them to try not killing each other for a while :))
 
They're still having the odd scuffle but I feel like I could leave them over night and I don't think they'll actually hurt each other.

Would that be okay?

Jet says be brave, he has three problems but he loves them all. Get wine and food and do to sleep.

Thanks Jet! Iggy has 4 problems but I don't think he's handling them well!

Maybe the cat will eat them so I don't have to worry anymore :))
