Introducing boars

[kimberlie]

When would be the best time to introduce my new 8 week old to my other 3 boars? I dont know how long i should leave my boar alone first, because he is very small (fits in the palm of my hand)

My 3 boars are squeaking really loudly when i have the new baby out and there playing during floor time. What do these squeaks mean? is it because they can smell him?

Thanks

Here are tips for introductions - mainly LOTS of NEUTRAL space and LOTS of time! They will need lots of space to live with each other as well - especially once they hit the hormonal phase at about 4 months old!

with so many boars be prepared for fall-outs and have alternative accommodation ready.
