Ireland But I'm from Devon UK
i have badger in with bobby and charlie, i think bobby and charlie are mean to badger so was thinking of putting him in with Romeo and devon.... they are outside quite happy in the run (had to take bobby and charlie out for bad behaviour....)
My concern is, will all this swappingpigs about cause them stress? surly its worse if badger isnt happy with the brothers.
What do u fink? excuse my terrible typos!
 
Hi Clare,

If they aren't physcially fighting then I would leave everything as it is for now. They are still young aren't they they may work out the dominance thing. If you put Badger in with Romeo and Devon then it may cause them to fall out.

But then you know your pigs best, if you feel it will work then give it a go. :)

Good luck, keep us posted!

Blimmin men!! Devon went mad when i put him in clean cage (badgers) and instantly started to scrap so i dont think its going to happen.... Ive got hat all back in usual places , badger still left out... will keep close eye and maybe if it dont get better i will have to take badger to a rescue and get him to pick a buddy..... i dont like the idea of him being alone.
 
How old are they? Maybe when they are passed the teenage stage they will mellow? I know what you mean though I hate pigs on their own, not overly keen on my set up with S&T only living side by side but at least they can see one another. Good luck with them, fingers crossed you have good boys! :)
 
I feel bad about my single boys too but I think as long as they are in the vicinity of other pigs and gets lots of attention, they're ok - I think I'm more bothered than they are! ::)
