New Born Pup
Hi we've had Terence and Timothy (rescue pigs approx 2 months old when they joined us) since the beginning of Sept. They've happily live together in their outdoor hutch and played in an ark on the grass over the summer. Now it's cold and rainy rather than leaving them outside 24/7 we bought a cage so they could spend time in a different environment during the day. This has been OK for a couple of weeks but at the weekend there was teeth chattering and fighting and we noticed a sore under Terence's ear. Checked out with Vet and advised to bath with salty water - and it seems to healing. Left them together in cage this afternoon and whilst petting them noticed Timothy had a bloody ear! They're now separated (even sitting next to each other on our knees they were teeth chattering again). So one is outside in hutch and one inside in cage. Should they be kept apart permanently or will they pine (don't want to buy any more in case it happens again!? Or separated in hutch with wire to see if they start to get on. Any advise on next steps would be gratefully received.
