Years ago when i had pigs i always had boys & would just add another as i pleased. The most i had together was 4, all differing ages in the petshops biggest hutch, it was possibly 4ft long but definitely not 2ft deep & i had no problems at all with them.

This time around, 7yrs ago, i was gobsmacked that the 4 young boys i got fought within the first 24 hours & i've not had much luck keeping boys together since :))
 
I have a trio of boars right now, Bob, Enrico, and Fluffy. They never fight, even when they went through their hormonal phases.

It used to be 4 of them living together, but Smores passed over the bridge. They never had fought at all!

Hope everything goes ok with the bonding! x>> x

My 4 boars fell out, and it was awful, but to be honest, I'd do it again when I have much more room. I think the reason they did fall out is because Damon likes his own company. And the other 3 were the opposite of that. Stefan was the big boss, and also the bully but he was lovely. I miss them all so much :(

I think as long as you have the room, then if your two don't accept the new boar, then atleast he has somewhere to go. That was my problem. I had no space.
I think you've been really sensible about this, although I also did email rescues etc before I put my 4 together and everyone came back saying it'd be fine... hmm. lol.

I wish you the best of luck with your 3, although I do think they will go fine together, just make sure you give your shed a good clean and wash out before putting new boy in, so there isn't any trace of smell of the other 2 :) xxxxx

Yeah i also think it was because they were quite young too? Boars get soo hormonal they're worse than teenage human girls! lol!

But you did the right thing you gave them all new loving homes, where they wouldnt be in danger of being attacked. I think it was the most sensible and selfless thing you could do :)

Yerp I'm chuncking out all their wooden toys and replacing them with new, I'm going to be repainting the hutch (animal safe paint) and wahsing it down with bleach. The vetbed will go on a 60s wash, and all toys, the shed floor etc will be scrubbed down.

So all in all i think things will go okay, I also think it'll be great for Artie, as Artie loves piggie attention he follows Harvey round like a lost sheep but Harvey prefers human (and dog) company which is bizarre, so it'll be nice if Artie could have a playmate who'd give him some attention too :)

Haha! I know my OH's mum has kept piggies all her life, and she had no problems with boars (had seven at one point) but then her last two just fought like nothing she had ever seen. Apparently one was very aggressive, and had chewed through the bottom layer of the hutch one night and dropped down to the bottom layer to fight with the other boar.:{ Strange how you have a few fine and then some are just abit OTT!

You're welcome - he looks like a very old fashioned gent if that makes sense...in a Jeeves and Wooster sort of way.

Ok I think the bleach fumes are getting to me...

:(|) my great grandads nickname was Ted / Teddy and Ive always liked it not sure if he'd of appreciated a piggie named after him though hehe, though he always had a sense of humour. :) But ted is sooo adorable!
 
I think your Grandad would be chuffed to bits to have one of your special boys named after him..it's very much a compliment I think :)
