As you know I have two boys, Smokey and Bandit, I've watched them closely and they seem to have bonded (let's hope!) and piggy train in turns behind each other, sometimes they are in separate corners but mostly snuggled together.

Now, when I get them for snuggles it's a diff matter! They constantly sqeuak and fight to burrow under each other like both want to wear the other as a hat, sometimes it worries me they are going to start fighting, there has never been a chatter, although I think Smokey has nipped Bandit a couple times as he's squealed.

Should I give them separate huggles or keep trying together?
 
Maybe seperate for a while and then try again at another time.
 
The strange thing is they wheek for each other when one is on me and the other isn't lol!

Fickle lil boys! I usually snuggle them on my chest, perhaps I'll try my lap again, ty.
 
Well I had them out for a quick 10 mins today before the school/work run, and they both clambered up to my neck and nudged each other out of the way to get under my chin.

Still not sure if I should just leave them to it on my lap/chest or give one 5 mins then the other, then a couple mins together.

I don't want to "force" them into having to be with each other on me if they don't want to, but it confuses me as they seem content in their run/hutch and follow each other mostly everywhere!

Anyone else had this happen with cuddle time?

Thanks
 
Your boys are still running for shelter when they are out for a cuddle - if necessary underneath each other. That is all that is happening.

Either haven them together under a towel on your lap or have them out singly to get used to being petted.

No danger of fighting!
 
Thank you!

I have two cosies they like to snuggle in, have petted them in that for a while now and then and they seem ok, although still wriggling about now and then. Will continue petting under something for a while until they are more confident.

As long as they are not distressed by each other, not that I want them to be distressed by me of course, but it's something that can be fixed!

Cheers
 
Hi,

My two tend to like cuddles separately, they love being together but also like their own space.

Occasionally me and my other half will have one of them on our laps at the same time sat next to each other, but all that happens is they decided that the other ones got a better seat and start swapping laps then start squabbling. They are much calmer and chilled out when they are out on their own i find!
 
Mine fidget far too much when I take them out together so I've kind of given up on that. I take it in turns of my daughter has one and I have the other, but then, they decide they want to wheek for eachother and swap seats, over and over and over lol
