i went to a pet shop, I know, I shouldn't have done it, but I really can't help it. Big breathhhhh.
I came out with 2 piggies, a boar & a sow. Logan & izzy. I let them be for 3-4 days then introduced them. Izzy went in the run with the 3 adult girls, no problem & they went into the cage together.
I've got Gizmo & Chester & Logan, I was hoping Logan would pair up with 1 of those 2 & the last one could go in with the girls.
But life is never simple is it, well mine isn't.
I put Logan in the run with Gizmo, went fine in the run, in the cage it was fine. All of a sudden Gizmo started chasing Logan, relentlessly I spoke to Wiebke she said Gizmo was having a hormone spike & if it carried on & Logan couldn't get any rest put a divider down till the next day. Put them back together & they were fine, week later it starts again, Gizmo bit a bit of his ear Pulled out loads of his fur. So I separated them. Even so Gizmo is giving verbals through the partition.
Ok I'll put Logan in with Chester, same thing in the run etc. Chester thought this is great a bonking machine. Poor Logan he had his side, rear, & head bonked constantly.
Now I have Logan, Chester & Gizmo all partitioned off is their little spaces, poor sows are squeezed up at the end of the cage. I have just had a couple of glasses of wine, & l don't care. The man up there never has liked me. :raz::raz::raz:
 
Aww bless u. My two girls are seperated :( it's awful cos they want to be together but when they are they fight! Not good but as long as they're clean well fed and happy they're okay xx

Wine is very good at making you not care! :beer: I should know as the bottle of wine I opened earlier has evaporated :oops: it tends to do that you know! It must have been the heat in my Conservatory!
 
That's odd Betsy, I had to open another bottle because mine evaporated. It annoys me that, this isn't put on the label. I've got a cracking headache & still nowhere near solving my problem!
 
That was a bit of a crazy plan but I guess you have found that out! Are the boys in the same room as the girls? Are there 2 boys who you think may get on in the end or was it equally bad when you tried bonding with Logan? Not surprised u have a headache with the roller coaster of bonding
 
Yes they are Laura, Gizmo & login were getting on really well until Gizmo starting chasing him. There doesn't seem to have any trigger. Trouble is they are in a large C&C with the boys on top, & I wouldn't have any place to put the boys.
 
And one look at their cute little faces, floppy ears, button noses and beady eyes and you are all mush...or is that just me?
