2 fighting boars

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My poor zac has quite a few scratches on his nose this morning Flopy isn't being very nice at all with him at the moment.. :'(

I went out and bought a shed and put their hutch inside,throughout the day the have their hutch is open so have plenty of room to keep out of each others way.. Only night time do I put them into their hutch and shut the door.
Do you think I need to seperate them ? one would have to live in the house because I have another pair in the shed aswell and only have the space for 2 hutches inside the shed..

Sorry to hear they are not getting on. A few questions that might help discover why they are fighting.
Are the other pair in the shed girls?
How big is the hutch you put them in at night?
How old are they?

I wouldn't seperate just yet Karen it may be something and nothing. If they are getting on in the daytime obviously it is the smaller enclosure that is annoying them, can you make a c&c pen for them to use of a night, maybe section of some of the shed so they can get in the hutch if they want and can have a bit more room.

Good luck!

The other 2 in the shed are boars and thankfully they get on well, only thing with that is though they don't get out of their hutch as much as the other two.

Flopy is around 2 or 3(rescue wasn't sure) and zac is 9 months.. Flopy makes rattling noise as soon as Zac goes up to him.
