Murray's new herd - Catherine - 09-08-2015

I brought home two new rescue girls last week. They are doing very well.

Murray however is a lonely boy.

So I waited until the new piggies were used to life at my place and then I introduced them.

They seem fine together.

So I put them together in Murray's enclosure.

The girls got busy moving pillows around.

Then they took a nap together.

I think they are going to be just fine together. Murray already looks better. He is looking bright and alert. The girls look like they are happy with Murray.

They look really good together. Murray looks much more content with the girls there and they have taken to him, but then who wouldn't!!

I didn't think it would be long before he was in a herd again. As you have said, they really are social creatures and definitely thrive in a herd environment, and the herd dynamic is so entertaining to watch!!

Good Luck to them all, I'm sure they will be a happy bunch>

They are really comfortable together. The girls have already established the dynamics between themselves. Murray being a male is not part of that. He is big, but he is easy going so they will never have conflicts or issues. He likes their company and they like him.

I just knew they would be the right girls for him. They are old enough to be settled at 2 1/2 and Murray is probably not more than four.

I can't decide which girl is dominant. Maybe neither one is. I am pretty sure they are sisters. Even with the different colours they are still very much alike.
