@Becaboofurbabie If your sister had a girl and boy together then the girl is likely to be pregnant. Please keep a very close eye on her to see if she starts showing signs of pregnancy.

Your boy will be worked up because he with a new pig. He wants to go back. If you move him away from the other pig he will settle down.

You will need to either find him a new friend or rehome him to a rescue who can find him a new friend and home.

Hi and welcome

I am very sorry about the mess. Sadly not all piggies get on, and some hate each other on sight, the same way that some people get under your skin pretty much instantly.

Your boy will settle down again in a day or two. He is desperate for company. You can consider keeping both boars in adjoining cages, so they be company for each other, but cannot get to each other. Even hurling abuse through the bars is stimulation and will keep them occupied enough to not become depressed! ;)
Since you also have a most likely pregnant sow on your hand, I would strongly recommend to wait and see what happens on that front before you look for more company. Any baby girls can stay on with mom, and any baby boars can be paired up with your boars.

Please be aware that your sister's sow is most likely pregnant. She will need extra care and an especially good diet. You also need to be aware that not all births go well and that you may need vet care if things go very wrong.
You are welcome to start an ongoing support thread in our pregnancy section where you and your parents are welcome to ask any questions and discuss concerns you have along the way.

Um thanks for that info but i said they were boys boys cant get other boys pregnant
 
These comments was in respect of your sisters piggies. You implied your sister has more than one pig - ‘that one of her girls was in fact a boy’ - implying that there is one girl and the one which turned out to be a boy. You now have the boy but before they were separated at your sisters, the boy has most likely got your sisters girl pregnant.
