Hi!
ive had my pair of boars now a couple of months and are 18 weeks old now.
They live in an outdoor hutch, and as the weathers been absolutely beautiful since they arrived, they spend most of their day (12hrs ish) out on the grass in a run. i do have a Ferplast 160 they use indoors on days that are horribly wet though.
Ive noticed over the past 2-3 weeks that the rumblestruttng is near on constant. i know boars are prone to it, but this just seems to be all the time. More episodes now are also featuring teeth chattering which i know is a bad sign. Ive made sure that from the day i got them, we have had 2 of everything, foodbowls, bottles, hides, tunnels etc and have made sure the hides have 2 entrances, so no igloos. Plenty of space for them both, and eating well and toileting well too.
there is plenty of popcorning, squeaking and wheeking and talking going on, but the rumbles are even at me! One does seem to do it more than the other, and he isnt as laid back.
Is it just an age thing? are they still trying to work on dominance? I owned piggies many years ago now and had sows so the rumblestrutting wasnt as much it seems!
