Bonding Need advice on bonding 2 sows

[myangelhoney]

Hello, I have recently gotten my piggy (3.5 yrs old) a potential cage mate (3 yrs old and much larger) and put them together in a neutral location for a bonding session today. It didn’t even last 10 minutes as the new piggy launched at mine about 3 or 4 times when I ultimately decided to put them back in their separate cages next to one another. The past few days they have been fine with one another and even curious looking at, and sniffing the other but today there has been teeth chattering and rumbling towards one another between their two cages. So far I have started scent swapping to see if that would help. Any advice is helpful! I’m feeling very defeated and like there is no way they will bond now.

Scent swapping may help, and swapping cages may help. But there's more to introductions than just a neutral area. Read https://www.guinealynx.info/introductions.html for good info on introductions.
