  HI Carole,
  You mention that when you introduce 
  your girl piggies they chatter, that is a 
  natural responce. You should try to 
  introduce them to each other on nutural 
  ground, like when you give them floor time.  
  If they are intoduced in "their" cage they 
  will try to protect it as their terrirory. I 
  think that comes from being in the wild 
  and having to protect themself from 
  other pray and they consider it a threat to
   their survivial when they have to share. 
  Think about if you had to share your food, 
  your home, and everything you had with a 
  total stranger in YOUR home. It's the fact 
  partly they are FORCED to do so. It may 
  take a long time to introduce them together 
  on the floor or outside thier cage or they 
  may never get along. So be patient and 
  give them time outside the cage and they 
  may accept another piggie into the herd. 
  Just remember to have enough room for 
  them all as well. You may have to get a 
  bigger cage and with it be new to all of 
  them it may aid in acceptance of the new piggies.
