Hello!
I adopted Charlie in February and he’s now a nearly fully grown boar. Knowing he needed a friend, about a month ago I adopted Wilber, a 3 month old boar.
After a three week quarantine, they met in a huge room. I had a blanket, hay, vegetables, and all the necessary items. At this point, I had introduced them to each others scents so they weren’t complete strangers.
After a few hours, Charlie finally stopped mounting Wilber and they were together in peace. Once they went into the fully cleaned cages with fresh everything, Charlie began to chase and mount Wilber again.
It’s been a week now and most of the time they’re fine, but occasionally both will rumble strut at each other. About once a day, teeth chattering occurs and they’ll lunge at each other.
I’m too afraid of messing up their progress to separate them, but I’m scared of the fighting.
They eat together and play, but they also fight. No blood has been drawn yet, thankfully, but I’m not sure how far this will go.
Any advice?
Thank you,
Emily
