Bonding My New Baby Male With Older Boar

[Emmad31]

Hi guys,I have two boys currently in separate cages,Goofy was is a teenager aged 15 weeks and Max who is 6weeks (only got him yesterday).Goofy used to have two brothers but one died a few weeks ago and the other was very aggressive towards others.Anyway I want to start bonding the baby with Goofy but I'm terrified!Max is so little and delicate looking I know goofy will prob assert his dominance as he's older and in peek hormonal stage of life so I expect him to rough his up a bit and mount but won't that terrify the little one or even hurt him?I was thinking of putting them both in new playpen which neither of them have been in before for a bit xx

Boars don't generally get into fight with babies, but please take the time to read the bonding guide link carefully that @sport_billy has given you. It is as detailed as I could make it.
Make sure that the baby boy has got an escape with two exits on opposite sides that the bigger boy can't get into. In your case, a cardboard box with two baby-sized door openings is likely the easiest option.
You may find that while Goofy is likely to be overjoyed to have company again, his teenage hormones are likely to wake up with the dominance that comes with establishing a new group.
If you can, give your boys time next to each other with interaction through the bars. That takes some of the stress and tendency to overreact out of the bonding.
