Well I can't really separate them since I only have 1 cage.
They both came from the same place, and both seem in great health. I've looked them both over up and down, checking feet, eyes, noses, etc. I will continue to watch their weight though. After about 20-30 mins after their first meet, they both calmed down greatly and now lay together in the same pigloo. Since I don't have the resources to separate them (and they've already been together for several hours now), do you know any other things I can watch for or check as the days go by?
I am new to this whole piggie-care and am trying my best.
