Hello. This Sunday is the big day for Ringo and Toad. I can't believe it's already here. I'm as prepared as anyone can be. Researched, bookmarked pages on my phone, the works. However, there is 3 questions I can't seem to find the answers to.
My 1st question: When setting up the neutral zone, which piggie do I put in first? The year old Ringo or the 4 month old Toad? My mom will be home helping monitor them while I clean the cages (if all goes well of course) but has refused to pick either up. She's just not the animal type. I can't remember the last time I saw her hold an animal. So I will have to place one in at a time and would like to know which one goes first.
My 2nd question is: If all goes well and I'm able to place them in their newly clean and expanded cage, how long before I do floor time with them? Do I wait a week? Do it the next day? Or is there another option I don't know?
My last question is: Toad is 4-4 1/2 months old and is still on young cavy food, until six months when I transition him over to adult cavy. If, again, all things go well do I still put the young cavy food in with the two boars? Or just transition him right over to the adult food?
All these questions seem to be no brainers but I just can't figure them out. I'm being super cautious this time around and don't want to mess up in any way. Help would be appreciated and I would be grateful.
