not working with my new piggies, help?

Ok, we got two new piggies today, a boy and a girl from a very good rescue place.

My two original piggies are pop corn and lucky, the new tow are humbug (boy) and gemma (girl).

I put them all together, and all out war broke out and I couldn't tell where one piggy started and another ended!

They were in a big enough cage with new fleece and towels, so completely neutral, and had boxes for them to hide in, and loads of veg around for them all to eat.

Since then I couldnt put my original two (pop corn and lucky) back together because pop corn was just attacking anything that moved....took about 2 hours but pop corn and lucky are back together and happy.

Gemma and Humbug on the other hand are completely avoiding eachother, and teeth chatter if they even go near eachother (which they never did before).

Any hints, tips, ideas, anything?...

...I am hoping someone from the rescue centre can come over tomorrow and help me to sort this out, but any additional ideas would be great!



Am getting worried Gemma and Humbug might have to go back to the rescue centre!

Did you introduce on nuettral ground and give a nice good clean out with vinagar and water? Like all the toys and bowls and the coro? You can try a buddy bath. For more idea's here:

Yeh, everything was cleaner than it has ever been!

I must have cleaned everything at least twice some of it three times!

I will definitly try a buddy bath tomorrow if it doesn't work when I try again!
