Hi everyone i love my boy Gizmo that I got two months ago and rescued so much that I did all my research and realized that a boar needs another male companion and preferably a baby so I went to the store and got one! 10 weeks old today. He had a URI and he had antibiotics was quarantined, recovered, quarantined once more and we began introductions today at 3pm. It is now 9:30 at night and the entire day they have basically just been chasing each other around eating together and making the drrrrrrrr sound a lot... no teeth chattering or aggression that I have noticed! Do you think I have a good pair and do you have any tips.....

So far so good! As long as you don't see tuffs of hair out or there is no blood drawn they should be fine. Keep a towel ready just in case things get too physical. Here are a few links to help out.

Boars, sows or mixed pairs; babies or adults?
