Hello, more experienced cavy owners! I would love to hear from you about what the chances will be that introducing two sow pairs won't work...meaning that they'll hate one another and I won't be able to join them.
This is taking into account the fact that I'll be doing everything that is suggested for introductions....neutral territory, let them be (unless blood is drawn), give them time, food, and water, etc. Completely clean the cage (2x6 c&c) and supplies so that it doesn't smell like any one pig, removing 1-entrance hideys, having enough dishes, water, etc.
After doing all of that, what are the chances that the pairing won't work?? I'm stressing over this and don't know if my concern about it is as real as I think. Do most pairings work (with time, patience, and correct intro protocols) or is this something that I should really be concerned about?
I'd greatly appreciate any advice/knowledge. Thanks!
