Hi, I need any help and advice you can give me. I have a little female that I'm fostering from this rescue I help out from time to time. They deal more in cats and dogs so they bring me the piggies.
This little piggie was said to be 6-8 months old but I think she is much older, she has thick yellow nails. They've also been told that she's always been alone and didn't get along with other GPs.
I took her in and kept her in her little cage until she got used to us. She is in my office downstairs and my herd of 4 is upstairs. I thought I would give her a friend until she got adopted hopefully to someone who already has one. This weekend I built a brand new 2x4 then added my foster and a 8 month old baby from my herd who is very laid back and at the bottom of the totem pole.
Well it's not working out as I had hoped and now I'm thinking of separating them but I need your expertise and advice.
The foster is super dominant and super territorial towards my baby. At first she lunged at her, showed her teeth, she huffed and yawned a lot and wouldn't let her go anywhere. Now 3 days later and my baby is almost forced to stay in a corner, sleeping most of the time because the foster still won't let her roam around. My baby is super calm and submissive about the whole thing with a lot of whimpering and gurgling. It's just that she seems to be loosing all quality of life. As for the foster, she's popcorning all over the place when she's not peeing on baby's cushion or lunging at her or mounting her or rumblestrutting all over the place. When the foster finally quiets down, she'll go lie right next to baby.
Should I leave them together, there's been no blood? Will it get better or will my baby just suffer or get depresse? Is the foster just learning how to dominate even more and it will make it harder for her to find a partner?
