I saw a photo of a piggy on my local humane society's website and I'm in love! I was just thinking, if I did adopt her, how would that work since Penny and Cocoa are separated with a divider? I feel like it wouldn't be fair to put the piggy with either Penny or Cocoa; what if the other wants a friend? But I'd also feel bad if I put the new piggy by them but separated with a divider. Advice?
 
I have a 2 and a 1 with a divide.
Tonight I gave the 1 floor time Heidi and she sulked as she wanted to see her friends
They can't be together and alas :luv: each other. x

How did you know which one got along better with the third piggy? :) Did you introduce the piggy with the others individually and see which ones got along?
 
I had a three which are well covered on here countdown321 thread plus other threads that are / were my world.

Heidi Cocoa Chloe. and rescued another 2.
Sadly Cocoa died and i so wanted to bond the remaining 4 but Heidi and Mrs Dougal were having none of it so I was left with 2..2.
Again sadly Chloe died 2 months ago.
My concern was Heidi alone after 4plus years. . Again I tried to bond but pow no chance but putting them next to each other and yes they talk grumble and kiss through bars it's help Heidi ( and me)
All girls

Thank you for sharing your story :) x
 
I would go with it and see what the new piggy is like. Pick the pig of yours you think she personality would most go with and try to bond. If it works great, if not then wait a couple of days and try the other. Then keep an eye out on the website and see if a friend comes up for the other as well. Bear in mind though that it is entirely possible for the new lady to not bond with either of your existing piggies and you need to have a plan in place incase you end up with 3 singles
