I have two males called Choc and stripey two girls called Trixie and sunny
I will be starting intros next weekend so wish me luck for that
 
The girls certainly have healthy appetite which is a good sign
 
They are all lovely, but choc is a real stunner. Good luck with the intros. Do you have an inkling of who might get on with who?
 
Wishing you the very best of luck. I hope they pair up beautifully. x
 
Trixie is quite laid-back and she's quite timid so I think she would get on better with chalk where is sunny is quite forward and a bit opinionated so she'll get on really well with stripey Stripey is like that
 
I won't be starting to introduce them until next Friday so my opinions could change
 
I suppose you will want a bold one and a shyer one in each pair. Good luck with the introductions.
 
Stripey is a bit bolshy so I think pairing him with Trixie wouldn't be fair as he would bully her where are Sunnywood stand up to him and given what for
 
All four piggies are gorgeous Maddy. Please let us know how the introductions go.
 
I think it's important to do the right thing in getting your animals sorted so they can't reproduce
 
Beguiles are getting used to having different types of vegetables and textures of different leaving things
I'm going to go to Wilco to get a couple of new water bottles and a couple of extra bowls just in case the needed
I will also get some toys
 
Decided to start doing the intros early and they all seem quite happy in one big group
They are all indulging in communal eating of lettuce
So far so good
 
They all seem to be doing really well
They've been together since 10 o'clock this morning so if I was going to have any problems I would have had them by now
Will keep you posted
 
I thought that you couldnt have two boars together when there were sows involved in the mix, even if they are castrated as they will fight.
 
There has been no fighting whatsoever the boys are very protective of the girls because the girls are very young
I have a spare cage set up in case I have to split them but I tried splitting them up earlier and had them in mixed pairs and they were shouting for each other so I put them back together and that be fine
Either I have just been very lucky or I have very special boys
 
I hope that they still continue to get along when one of the girls goes into season. That might test things a little with the boys. Fingers crossed all stays good.
 
They have all been together in a cage this 5 foot long all night and I've managed to sleep so there's been no fighting they've had a communal bowl of lettuce for this morning's breakfast and I'm just about to put some new hating they all seem really happyggu they have all been together in a cage that is 5 foot long all night and I've managed to sleep so there's been no fighting they've had a communal bowl of lettuce for this morning's breakfast and I'm just about to put the new hating they all seem really happy
