Good luck with your little pig
As everyone has said, nuggets are best to stop picky eaters, my lot have Burgess Excel too. And lots and lots of hay. It's recommended a tea-cup of fresh veg everyday for vitamins. They can eat pretty much any veggies except iceberg lettuce, potato, onion. Mine love fresh herbs and fresh grass more than anything though

I've introduced younger pigs to others. We started off with a pair of girls and have gradually increased to six over time. My eldest two are pretty placid and I've not had any issues with introductions (well, until they met my neutered boy for the first time.. there was no way Pippa was giving up top spot!!)
Some say that a mutual bath is good for bonding, but I've been lucky and never had to do it. I've just let them find each other in a neutral space with a pile of leaves as a focus... the sofa or the lawn seems to work well for us. I've always been ready with a towel or something to chuck over them incase it kicked off though
Good luck with your girlie, hope she settles in soon x x
