I Want To Add More But How ...?

[MJG]

Hey all
I've been thinking about getting more pigs to add to my tribe of just two (boys) at the moment , I have the space , time and money to care for more but I am aware boys don't bond with other boys so would an option be getting girls instead or keep them in another room to the boys?
Would really love more just don't know how to go about it ... I'd rescue the new additions does anyone have any advice for me ?

Get sows then if you want you can have the boys done, spilt the cage in 2 then you can have 1 boar & 1 sow. Or if you want a couple of boars, you should have 2 boys each side.

Hi!

You can have more boar pairs in the same room, or have sows (with or without a neutered boar) ideally in another room.
Sows can live in larger groups, but boars are often less uptight than sows, and they mellow with age.

You may find the considerations in this guide here helpful: Boars, sows or mixed pairs; babies or adults?
