Shazz
New Born Pup
Hi, I have 2 boars and I'm afraid when we got them we had a small cage thinking it was right, we then upgraded to a double decker cage thinking they’d love it They hit their maturity and we started having a few tantrums and small scraps. We then built them a pen indoors that about 7ft x 4ft with the double decker cage too but it didn’t solve the problem, when they were about 1 we had to separate them with a wire divider as they’d drawn blood warranting a trip to the vet.
We have tried to rebond them a couple of times following advice from vet and other piggy owners but it didn’t stick. I’m not sure if we were given the right advice at the time or not, so many conflicting ideas making things very confusing. They’re not the most keen on being picked up but are happy enough to sit with us once we have them, they also spend time together while we clean their pen and also they’ll go outside in a hutch together during good weather and they’re fine.
My query is, would it be possible to remove the divider and let them live together properly? Or is it not worth the risk? Any ideas how to go about trying it? Any advice gratefully received
