[Gpdd] [Behavior] same cage with divider

[Laura Carin]

Hi Ginger,
My husband and I originally introduced Felix and Zephyr by sitting on the 
floor with our legs straddled and  feet touching, each with a pig on our 
side and then we let them go to the middle.  When I introduced Felix and 
Zephyr into the same cage I tried putting a divider in for the night so I 
wouldn't have to worry about the potential for them to fight while I wasn't 
around to keep an eye on them.  They were fine together in the cage during 
the day but I didn't want to take any chances at night.  Well, Zephyr kept 
me up half the night as he made as much noise as possible banging and 
chewing on the bars of the divider and removing any type of barrier I put up 
so that he couldn't see Felix and maybe forget he was there.  Felix seemed 
perfectly happy since he was the nervous new pig in town, but Zephyr wasn't 
having any of that.  When I took the divider down at about 3am so I could 
get some sleep, Zephyr was satisfied and I didn't hear a peep out of either 
of them for the rest of the night.  They got along fine right from the first 
time I introduced them so that probably helped.  Now they're best buds 
except they occasionally try to mount each other and the one being mounted 
squeals like crazy.

Good luck!
Laura, Zephyr & Felix
