resocializing piggies...

[midgetdesi]

Hi all-
Like some of you know, one of my girls has now left me :sad: its ok, i have 4 more to take care of! My question is, I now only have one girl and three boys. I use to have both the girls together and the altred male in the big cage and the two boys in smaller ones. Now I would like to have all three boys in the big cage and the girl in one of the little ones. I will be keeping the girl in the end, she is old and likes to be alone.

How shoudl i go about reintruducing the boys so they can get along, and live happily?

Help in NH!

Put them all together with a big salad on neutral territory, say the bathtub or the lawn. If they do get along, clean the cage very well, and make sure that all the pigloos and toys etc. are completely clean and smell neutral.
