New Guinygirl: Peaches
We got a new friend, named Peaches, end of october...
 |
| This is what she looked like at the shelter. She was observing everything curiously from her house |
 |
| Slaves tried to bond us three with her. She was curious, but very fierce, teeth chattering and even snorting at us |
 |
| As this led to a lot of agitation, we were separated. Peaches turned out to be very scared, also for our slaves. We had to find out who our new boss was after Daisy died. |
 |
| Peaches got used to slaves, but also got really bored. Bonding attempts failed... |
 |
| At the end of the Christmas holidays, slaves tried to bond us again |
Their plan was as follows:
1. Put all of us in a big run on neutral ground, with a fence in the middle. Peaches on one side, us three on the other side. They kept us in the run the whole afternoon, after about an hour it settled down a bit.
Having hay near the middle fence really helped there (Food = distraction and eating = social activity)!
2. The next day we switched sides. Again we were distracted with food.
3. Later that day the fence was opened, both the middle and the surrounding fence. This way we were given a bigger area to explore and to get to know each other. This way we could get away from each other if we wanted to. Berke did a great job protecting his ladies Woopy and Roos.
4. The fenced of area was closed again, making the area with all four of us smaller again. Again Berke kept doing a good job, and at some point Peaches accepted that. Victory!
5. We were put together in a thoroughly cleaned cage.

| All four of us together in our cage! Sorry for the bad picture quality. Roos is in stealth mode. Her red brown color and the red brown cage wall make her practically invisible. |
Slaves had a hard time putting us together, and they want to say keep trying as long as nobody gets really hurt (blood drawn). Also don't try to separate us too quick, Mikey found it really hard to not separate us once we started chattering and nipping at each other.
Greetings from our cage!
