Not slacking multitasking
We welcomed Marble 1yo
and Flossie 12 weeks
To the clan last week.
I say welcomed, Millie kind of ermm didn't and Marble hit back and after we'd had the third blonde hair rolling around in a ball scuffle I called time and split them
and that's why they didn't get a thread last week in case they had to go back .
So this week has been, you will get to know each other having split their actual indoor cage and the 'neutral' run in half and kept swapping them sides so no one got territorial. Then today I'd bought new fleeces, moved the whole set up to the kitchen instead of the lounge and promised myself that I would really try not to get involved. It's been a bit stressful but only because I like my pigs too much and don't want anyone upset! Pleased I did it now rather than when they were older though, I feel they are a bit more resilient at 2. I was also very aware that my attempt to give my old girl a friend didn't end well so really wanted this time to be ok.
In the interim I'd bought them a webcam (so I could keep an eye on them)- which also told me they seemed to be better without me there ? so I set that on the kitchen table and went and sat on the sofa.
First long hairs but hoping they might be a bit more sociable, millie and tiffin are definitely 'my pigs' so despite coming to call etc they go into hiding whenever anyone else is in the building and we didn't see them for the 4 days of christmas we spent at Mum's.
Will add some vids when I've some more time to post.
