I hadn't thought of that. Thanks for pointing it out. If I decide this is the best way forward they would all be sharing the same hutch just with the ramp taken out that is until we move in the (Hopefully) not too distant future. Then it'll be another headache as to where to put Dennis and any potential new wifelet as the piggies will be living in a garage with free access to play pen.
Keep an eye @Betsy . You will have read in a couple of my posts that Groucho keeps himself to himself in my trio, but he definitely doesn't want to be removed from the group - he wheeks for the others, and they for him, if he's separated. Might be worth a few hours trial and see how it goes?I think I'm going to leave it another couple of days to see really where all my piggies are at. If Dennis keeps removing himself from the others then he is telling me he no longer wants to live with Christian. When they are out in the run together they are all fine. It's just when they go back in the hutch. Dennis and Christian were eating and playing together in the run yesterday. I don't want to make any rash decisions.
I'll try later in the week and I'll put Betsy with him. Can't do it until Thursday as I'm busy tomorrow and off to see @Merab's Slave on Wednesday and I'll attempt to give Priscilla The Ironing Board Salon Treatment.Keep an eye @Betsy .

They are similar ages. Betsy was 3 end of Jan beginning of Feb and Dennis is 3 on 5th May.I would go with Dennis and Betsy together. Are they a similar age? Just thinking if Betsy was a lot older, then you may a sometime have to find Dennis a new lady after all? Gosh really difficult!
Is Betsy not Dennis's mum?Aw, really sympathise with you. It’s a difficult one. I would go with Dennis and Betsy together. Are they a similar age? Just thinking if Betsy was a lot older, then you may a sometime have to find Dennis a new lady after all? Gosh really difficult!
No Velvet is Dennis's Mum.Is Betsy not Dennis's mum?
Aw, that’s perfect then age wise and if they like each other then the bond will just get stronger xThey are similar ages. Betsy was 3 end of Jan beginning of Feb and Dennis is 3 on 5th May.
Thanks I hope it will.Tough one.
We’ll chat on Wednesday.
Maybe just talking through possibilities will help
Aw I dont think you could split these two up! Its so tricky isnt it, we wondered if we could split our herd to find a friend for Tallulah, but its like a mad logic puzzle: Clover hates Tallulah, Tallulah likes Blodwen and Puggle, but Blodwen loves Clover, Theo loves Puggle and Blodwen and Piggle, Jezzy floof is fairly aloof and likes hoomans and dinner best but isnt keen on youngsters who run about, and Tallulah isnt keen on floofy fur...That's what I'm hoping! Here they are all snuggled up and lovey dovey View attachment 110494View attachment 110495
