Do i need a baby boar or adult?

[Chocolatepiggy]

Hey guys,
So I currently have 3 boars together but one is being bullied by the others. I have been advised to split them and get another boar to bond with the bullied one. So am I better getting a baby? He is 8/9 months old or do I rescue a boar which is near me that is over a year old?

Thanks

Hi! Please contact any of the good standard rescues in your area. They both offer boar dating at the rescue to allow your boy to choose his own character compatible friend. Age is less important than mutual liking and personalities that mesh.
By adopting from a good standard rescue you are also adopting a fully quarantined/vet cared and properly sexed piggy and will come home with a new friend only if acceptance has happened. You also have the rescue as a back up for the life time of your adopted piggy if the bond is running into trouble at some point. That is a lot of extra service and peace of mind and neatly avoid all the pitfalls that can await the unwary!
