Question

-------------------------


Hello again:

Im not sure if I should let my piggies stay together. I really think one is bullying the other. She doesnet eat much. Im nervous, no blood has been drawn but I feel bad for the non aggressive one.

Answer
Hello Lori,
Ok, if the less dominant piggy is not eating properly, you are right to worry. On a rare occassion, you will encounter one who is just a bully. I actually have one myself. If you can seperate them, I would advise it. The less dominant pig should not have to live her life in constant fear. It doesn't mean your more dominant pig is a bad pig, it just means she'll be better off without a roommate. At the very least it will give you peace of mind. Good luck with your girls.
