Well, I wanted to test the waters today, and see how the girls might get along. Oops! Too soon I suspect. The big girls just got into this space on Saturday. . .
The good news is: cuys, being skittish, are easy to chase off of another pig - a stern shout and they run; the "regular pigs can run faster.
The bad news is: cuys are very big - everything is big - including their teeth; it looks like they don't give much warning to an attack - they just lunge!
Needless to say, there was a bit of aggression. Rosie is the more aggressive of the two cuys. She even chases Alex around - I think it's playful, but it's not always obvious to me.
Alex went after Isabelle a couple times. Knocked her down and sank into her butt. Isabelle, with her neurological problem, can't get up fast enough. Then Rosie also went after Meagan (formerly Ghost), but a loud shout from me, and a fast get away from Meagan prevented injury.
I put the grid back up and called it a day after about 20 minutes. I'll give it some time, maybe think of some other things to do.
At this pint Rosie is chewing at the grids, which she never did, and chasing after Alex. I think she just got worked up. But, boy, is Rosie ever a power house!!! Like a feaking mack truck!
