Mrs.Nesbit's Diner

ohhh Steve, Rosie's a pretty girl, I hope she and Sally find a happy medium and you have squeeling piggies again. I love love GP's, I had Tinkerbell and Jessica when I was growing up. I never thought of a shelter having adoptable GP's/// going to have to go check locally now.

Good Luck

They haven't killed each other.
Sally continues to pick on Rosie but from what I have been reading, this is completly normal and can go on for a couple of weeks.
Rosie hasn't shown any threatening signals since the first day, and it's obvious that she has learned her place, but sally isn't finished yet I guess.

Neither Joey nor sally ever did anything that remotely resembled biting, but Rosie seems to like to nibble on people; which worried me with the baby, but I have found that, this too is a common thing and doesn't lead to actual biting.... it better not
The nibbling feels like they are mouthing you with their lips and then gently rubbing their teeth on your skin, its rather disconcerting considering the size of their teeth, but it doesn't hurt in anyway.

The baby still mentions Joey's name on a daily basis but I change the subject; I'm not sure of she is really looking for him or if she's just using the wrong name because she calls me mommy about a third of the time.

Sally threatening - on the right, rosie getting ready to run - left


Rosie takes a bite of carrot while Sally decided weather or not to take a bite out of Rosie.


The camera flash diverts their attention. Rosie tries to go unnoticed while sally poses for the camera as if to say, "aren't I so cute", as thoughts of ripping apart her cage mate subside.. for the moment.


I will be so thankful when the fighting stops. ;pl

Oh Steve, I am so sorry.  I just read this and even tho its been a bit ago, still sending hugs out to you for your Joey.

I just love the new girl, Rosie is exceptionally pretty.  Hope they start getting along well and become fast friends SOON for you!

You should share the POW spotlight too! 

I've never had pigs but we did have hamsters one time, and found out too late that they were opposite sexes,  :ha   had 9 little babies!!

Just be thankful for that short attention span!
