Hello. I've just joined the site and would like to introduce myself and my piggies. I'm new to owning guinea pigs. I got Ziggles and Punk a couple of months ago. They got along really well and took to me really quickly too. Unfortunately Ziggles passed away yesterday. It was sudden (he choked on hay that we could not remove from his throat despite our best attempts. It all happened in less than 5 minutes and I am devastated. Ziggles was a lovely, friendly pig. He loved to sit on my shoulder whilst I watched TV and sniff and lick my neck. I miss him already. Punk is also awesome. He's more timid than Ziggles was but once he's on my lap/chest he completely relaxes and he loves having his chin stroked.
Today I adopted 2 piggies that were in need of a home, Burt and Horris. It's already clear that Horris is the one in charge. I hope to gradually introduce them to Punk and hope that they can all get along as well as Punk and Ziggles did. I don't want Punk miss his friend as much as I will.

Welcome to the forum.
Sorry to hear about your other boar
With regards to introducing them to make a trio if may not work. Trios of pigs dont always work out as planned and can lead to three pigs who need housed seperately
Good luck and theres lots of advice on here about bonding pigs.

Welcome to the forum. So sorry to hear about Ziggles. It must be tough I hope you get on well with Punk and the new boys. As Kayleigh said, sometimes trios can be tricky so keep a close eye on them.
