PigPog

Pogo and Rupert now officially will not live together anymore.

Fabulous.

Pogo now wants to live on his own. And guess who has no spare hutches. :-\

Rupert meanwhile, has been tried with some of my batchelors. He lasted less than a minute with Sputnik before both of them got their teeth out. It was five minutes with Sooty before I got the gloves on. Houdini won't tolerate another boar in his herd, and Fudge was counting the ways he could eat him. ?

So now Rupert is back in the kitchen again while I figure something out.

I tried introducing Sooty to Fudge. Fudge put his rumblestrutting hat on and made Sooty into the tea-boy. Sooty didn't seem to mind making the tea. No teeth were exchanged, but there were some naughty words and a few ground rules put down. I have put Sooty back in his hutch for the night and will try again tomorrow.

If they can live together, Rupert gets a hutch. Otherwise, the shed gets rearranged and another C&C cage goes in.

No pig leaves this household after they come in - Rupert will have a home somewhere in that shed even if I have to move heaven and earth to do it. xx0

Boars. Peh. :P
 
Boars, they are so stubborn! My two S&T are fine now since I moved the girls out of the piggy room, no rumbling at all or teeth chattering.

But Pudsey is still putting is scent all over Eccles when I take one out for a cuddle, Pudsey is so calm with us its hard to beleive he wants to be boss pig! :D

Good luck with the bonding, I wouldn't remove though unless they try to go for one another. :)
 
Boars ::) can't help them selves eh >:D
Keep perservering love, try diff combo's but you may need to try for a bit longer O0
I agree unless they go at each other and it's only rumbles etc... keep them together and see if they sort it out themselves O0
Good luck love :)
 
I've just put Sooty back in with Fudge. There's a lot of chattering going on! :o They're both a couple of years old so it might not work, but they're both wonderful pigs so it's an obvious pairing for me to try. Fudge is an enormous Rex who has always lived alone and Sooty just lost his brother this week (Sweep). Both are soft as anything - I really hope they can live together. I've never seen Fudge so animated, that's for sure. O0

Rupert is still in the kitchen............ ::)
 
Aww poor Rupert! :D As long as they haven't gone for one another thats the main thing. Hope they bond for you. :)
 
So far so good. Fudge and Sooty have been in the same hutch since mid afternoon and they're already sharing their dinner and pottering around eachother. I've left them together overnight so fingers crossed. :D

I tried Sputnik with Pogo and it didn't even take ten seconds before they got their teeth out and had a full-on furball. ? Thankfully I had the gloves on and could pull them apart as they flew through the air. ;D

And Rupert is still in the kitchen. ;D
 
Aww Rupert! Bless him! :D Such a cute name! Glad it is going well! I slept on the sofa when bonding my boars, I was terrified of them falling out while I was asleep!

What you going to do with Rupert? :)
 
I have 8 of the little darlings and am much more relaxed re bonding than I used to be. Seems to work! All mine are paired up now :)
*touches wood and doesn`t walk under ladders* ;D
 
Well the plan is if Sooty and Fudge will live together, then that gives me an empty hutch - and that's where I want to put Rupert. Of course it does rely on Fudge and Sooty bunking up together. ? If they don't want to live together and Sooty has to go back to his own hutch, I'll build a new C&C cage for Rupert in the shed somewhere. It's a big shed so with some rearranging I think I can get a cage in for him if I have to.

Wow, 8 boars all paired up - well done! Give the woman a medal. ;D O0
 
Aww bless them! You got any pics of your lot I'd love to see them! :D I'm a piggy addict!

I've two lots of boars paired up, I think Sunshine and Twinkle will stay together forever, they have the odd barny but since I removed the girls from the pig room they are great, before we had problems. Girls are in the living room now!

Eccles and Pudsey are only babes 2 and 3 months and still Pudsey has to rumble all over poor Eccles but when Pudsey hears a noise he doesn't like then he goes to Eccles for comfort! 98) They are odd little things!

Boar Wars, you could make a story up along the lines of star wars about their goings on! Darth Pig! :D I think I need to go to bed, Pigs have taken over my mind!
 
I'll try and put some pics up later. :D

Well - Fudge and Sooty are still together! O0 Rupert is now living in Sooty's old hutch and I've got my kitchen worktop back. ;D I'm still keeping a close eye on them but fingers crossed.......
 
I have to say that I am quite lucky in that I have three boars living together quite happily.....
 
Oh definately - well done you! O0 I'm usually quite good at getting boars paired up but so far I've never even dared to try three. :D
 
they came as a three. I am ultra careful, they have three snugglesafes, two food bowls/water bottles etc. When they made the great escape and left Gary behind, I bathed them all and scrubbed their hutch before I put them back in...so far so good. They are 6 months now
