Hello, all!
I am hoping to get some recommendations for introducing my newest guinea pig, Maleficent, to my pair, Anna and Regina.
Anna is Regina's daughter and they have not been separated since her birth--I adopted them together.
Mal is healthy, I've taken her to a vet and also kept her isolated from my two girls for about a month, then kept them in the same room but separate cages. All of them are aware there's strange guineas in the room--they frequently wheek at each other in the mornings and evenings.
I am planning to purchase a C&C cage for the three of them to live in, but I'm wondering what the best method of introduction would be. I know a lot of it has to do with the individual personalities of the piggies, but I am still hoping for advice!
I really would rather use the buddy bath method as a last resort. Should I just put them all in the C&C (which will be new, neutral territory for all) and see how it goes or would gradual introductions beforehand be a better strategy, etc?
Thank you in advance!
