Hi, I'm new to the forum
I just lost one of my girls yesterday. I've had Jazzy and Spazzy for over 2 and a half years (they were sisters). I think they're about 3 years old. I don't know why Spazzy passed away (she seemed fine the day before?), but I'm concerned about Jazz. I know that Piggies are social animals (Jazzy is very shy and skiddish... Spaz was the alpha piggie - although she was skiddish too), so I'm not sure rather or not I should try to get Jazz a new roomie or not? If I do, should I give Jazz a little time to get used to Spaz not being there?
I don't usually go for female animals as it's been my experience that they bite more then males, but I'd have to get another female... at least the cage has a second level and I do have two igloos. Any suggestions?
