So its day 4 of Sooty and Charlie (Charlie was bereaved 3 months ago from her sister both 6). I have contacted the rescue today to get some more background on Sooty, she had been in rescue a year not from birth like i thought and before then was handed in by a owner who was under watch from the RSPCA having had their first lot taken of with force. This lot were not in too desperate a condition but handed over before it got there voluntarily. Overnights Sooty has left the duel piggy igloo area and opted to sleep alone under the hutch on the other side of the shed though I have put her back from time to time this seems her place so today like a ncie mum I filled up a bottomless plant pot with hay and put it where she has been sitting - hey presto in she goes a little more protected. I put Charlies igloo back in the hutch above where she pootled off to and left the other one in the dual area. All was well till Charlie came over wheeked, chased her then got in the pot instead - I am fuming with her how bloody rude! The rescue lady reassured me that just normal behaviour and would settle as long as don't draw blood. How do all your Guinea Piggys get on and what age and sex differences do we have and how long did it take to settle if ever? The lady told me the more you have the easier the colony gets and settles down and mentioned she will have another 10 available 11 October when pregnancy watch is over and adding another 2 could help..... Humour me - I feel like this is takig over my life . I had sooty in this morning and she did a massive pee on me - no warning just a full on gush - Charlie at least has the manners to warn me with some fidgeting!.
