Hi everyone
,
I just thought Id make a post about my little success story. I had been searching the internet for a while about having boars living together and was so worried as the stories I found were predominantly bad in regards to introducing and keeping more than 2 boars together happily, so thought Id share my happy story for anyone else who might find themselves in a similar situation.
I have two rescue boars that are 6 months old, one is an Abyssinian called earl and is very dominant and enjoys his own space with a very outgoing energetic personality and the other is a rex called bumble who is very sweet, cuddly and a huge softy. I kept finding Bumble trying to snuggle Earl and getting told off and he ended up sitting chatting by himself and it broke my heart... so I spoke to some professionals about the introduction of another boar to my little group to keep Bumble company and got advised that if I do it should be a young male not one of similar age. So I carried on looking into it and found some horror stories and felt stuck with what to do.
Then last week I went to the pet shop to get some treats and there was this adorable just arrived in shop baby boar. I melted and went for it. I brought him home gave him a rub with one of their blankets and as my boys are free range with an open front cage and the roam of a room I placed him down first with Bumble. Bumble instantly went up to him and just sat next to him giving him a sniff. Earl then came over rumble strutting as usual and I held my breath with a towel in hand... He chased the baby around for about 35 minutes and then began to relax, all was going well.
Earl has now become very attached to the little chap, having the baby on his heal at all times, he shares his food with him and even lets him have veggies that he's in the middle of eating. Ive found the introduction of the baby has softened him up and often find the three of them getting on very well. Bumble now has a snuggle buddy and Earl is becoming more and more social by the day, all though still a rumbly little man but he always has been and I can imagine always will be.
Although early days I couldn't be happier with how its gone and wanted to share this with anyone who is worried about introducing boars to each other.
