Okay, so I know this website doesn't recommend pet store piggies, but I adopted Pierre before I knew that.
Pierre is about 6 or 7 weeks old, and adopted from a pet store. This store had 4 piggies of the same age, in the cage together. I only purchased Pierre, about 5 days ago. I am thinking about going back to adopt one of his buddies, and I was wondering how this would affect Pierre and his territory? They had been living together before, so will the 5 day separation require a quarantine period still, and will Pierre become territorial if I adopt one of his old cage mates?
There still is the option of adopting a pig that needs re-homing...but will the age gap be a problem for the two, especially since the younger one is the one who has previously lived in the territory?
