Bonding Boars

[amy104]

Hi. I am looking for a new friend for Oreo after the loss of Fudge. How young does the new baby piggy need to be for best chance of sucess?

Hi

How old is Oreo?

I would think the younger the better, so about 6 weeks (which is the youngest you'll usually find ready to go to a new home).

Approx 7-8 months.

I think there's a good chance of him bonding with a baby boar - is there a rescue near you? Perhaps you could put a 'wanted' in the rescue bit?

Yes at that age as shopie said a 6 week old one or just older would be best!

Iv just done this and so far so good! My older boar is approx 12w though and the baby is 4ish weeks

they seem to be getting on well! the older boars face lit up when he met his pal and literally jumped for joy! (popped)
