fur & buzz

I've 3 boars. furby is about 16 months old, he's really placid, totally ignores the grumpy piggies, and realls does seem sooo happy living alone.
The two younger boars are about.....4 months old. at the start benny was really aggressive and had to be separated, he's a recluse! doesn't come out if there's the slightest possible chance your about.....really needs company......
wallace did live with furby but separated them as furby wasn't well and was loosing weight, furby is def happy with this arrangement, wallace isn't exactly complaining, but does sit in his swing a lot looking into benny's cage, i know when they cant see me they do chat, and i have noticed that benny has been chewing on the bars between them......
when they are in their floor space they can all chat but are separate, benny seems to have stopped the aggressive behaviour, but now wallace scares me! never mind the others, lots of hackles up-like a dog-lunging at benny's side of the devide etc...but doesn't do it to furby, but when they are out furby does his own thing, doesn't even really look at the others, benny seems to want to be friends with wallace, who is having none of it, but then after a bit benny starts the teeth chattering etc, only not so much aggression as wallace?
is there any hope for them having soul mates, i might be able to bond furby and benny, but i really thing furby does prefer to be alone..... no way i'll get benny and wallace together, it would be terrifying....i'm wondering do they grow out of it? furby was already 6 months when i got him, and he got on ok with buzz(who died) and with wallace, until wallace started to bully him....so the aggression is new to me...
i really cant get any more boars, cause i really dont want 5 boys all in separate cages, is newter and marrage my only other option....
wallace seems to want company and wants to chat, but when benny comes to chat, he gets an ear full.......
WHAT WILL I DO?? help please!!!
 
If you have the space then it might be worth getting them a baby boar to keep them company or a sow (but in this case you would need to neuter them). I'm not sure about the behaviour as I only have sows at the moment
 
thanks, but you see, i have 3 boars in separate cages cause i got the older one baby boars as friends, and none of them get along....so if i do that again i could end up with 6 boars, all in separate cages, i love my piggies, but no way! dont have the room or the money or the time to do that, if only there was a rescue here i could take them to find a friend.....
