Help Please On My Piggie's

hi,

just looking for a bit of advice on my new piggy, i have had my two females since march and when i got them they claimed dominance like mad. But now they are settled and have been for a few month's, some woman was selling a 15 month old white female today and i took it off her hands as she couldnt look after her, i have bathed them all to get the scent the same and completely cleaned the cage throughout, but one of my older females is really bullying the new one. She chases her around the cage and has done for a few hours now but she jumped on top of her and pinned her down the little one squeeled and the other older one(not the one attacking) come out of the house to stick up for her. I am really concerned about her i dont want nothing bad to happen to her as she is only a baby.

i just introduced two new girls to my girls, brought another abi into the scene she is tiny but is trying to claim dominance over my two older ones, its normal and it will calm down as long as there is no blood, and if she is still eating and drinking i would just let them sort it.

one of my older ones keep's on jumping on the little ones back though?

[scruffytufty]

its probably mounting, to prove she is the more dominant one, completly normal

just want to thank scruffy for your advice & give you an update on the piggy's, i put all 3 of them in the bath(empty) and they cuddled up together and this was straight after they was fighting, i emptied there cage, cleaned the cage, toys, igloo with disinfectent and put fresh sawdust in, changed all the cage around for them and put them back in. Now there is no fighting, theres a few quibbles but nothing like it was they all cuddle up together in the igloo so i now think she has been accepted into the family :-) so happy because i wanted to give her a good home where she will be really well looked after! picture is below of all three of them on me last night! thanks again i can always guarantee for some good advise on here!

I've been thinking thats its time for my three girls to have a bath. Everything was fine with two and then I introduced the third. Ya know, scuffles happened but they are still happening everytime I clean the cage. It seems to be a whole new dance for the space. Cinn is always the winner, Meg comes up second and Sug is last.

There is no blood draws. Just alot of squeeling, running, rummbling thing.

When I bought my first 2 I did take one back. She was down right mean to Cinn. Funny, now Cinn is the "boss"
