update on George & Harry, advice needed

[suzyhenke]

I just don't know what to do now. I thought George & Harry had bonded but I was so wrong. I had a lady come out to do a bonding bath and she picked up on Harry has some wounds. A huge one on his leg and small one on his back. Because they have been so quiet I just assumed that everything was sorted. They are now in a c&c cage, they have 2 of everything including hay bales and I am stumped. What do I do? I can't keep both in separate cages as I just don't have the room since now having the c&c cage takes up a lot of space (2x4). I don't want to re-home them because I am so attached to them, but then on the same note, I don't want one getting injured. I don't want a single piggy because both need a cage mate. I have seriously got no idea on how to handle this situation because as I've stated in the other thread, I am a new owner. I can only thank God that I didn't get the 3 like I was asked to.

Both George & Harry seem to have sorted out the dominance thing. George is boss and Harry seems at the moment to be submissive. They do have face offs but no teeth chattering any more and have been very good for the past few days now. After they had a fight, I divided up the c&c cage overnight and it seems to have worked. The following day they seemed to have gotten along. I am so happy. Both George & Harry have had cuddles today and Harry felt like he was purring. They have been sharing the new hay ball I made them and eating out of the same bowl even though they have 4 between them. Fingers crossed no more rows.

Hurray! I hope they continue to be friends.

Sounds like good news, I hope it stays OK.
