Ahh that makes sense about the hierarchy thing. I have 3 weeks to come up with a plan and a few friends to help with the introductions.

Wading through posts on Guinealynx takes alot of time! I wasnt able to find anyting definitive on the search mode under group introductions, but did find one post in the cavy chat section about two and two introductions but they were all female. I did find way back on the cavymadness forum under behavior another post today about two and two intros, but again all girls.

It seems most of the multi-pig intros are one pig to a herd situations.

Thanks again for your advice! I really appreciate it!

No worries, you're always very helpful and prompt. I certainly know about Life getting in the way. I will keep you updated on the progress as we get closer to the time.

Thanks again!

Update:

Introductions went very well! We did them in the bathroom with plenty of hay and veggies. There was no fighting, but lots of "leave me alone" squealing and of course the neutered boar Sherman pork-chop was doing alot of rumble strutting and mounting. He was pretty much covered in urine by the time we put them all in the cage together. We did bathroom introductions and watched closely for abaout 3.5 hours.

Now that they are all in the cage (2x8) c&c cage, they are still sorting things out , there is still dominance behavior displayed, its quite fascinating! But for the most part everything is settled down. we have 4 of everything so no one waits for anyting, I think that helps out alot. (there are now 4 piggies total)
Bianca, Paloma, Shermand and Fanny.

Something interesting I noticed is that when the girls go into heat, Sherman will mount them as if it were a real mating yet he is neutered and without testicles.
He leaves boar glue on their fur (which is very difficult to remove) and boar glue on the fleece. Im assuming that this is just from the prostate?

All in all, everyone seems to be getting on quite fabulously. I couldn't ask for a better herd!
