I have 2 boars, one aged 4 and one aged 5 months. I introduced them back in July after the 4 year old lost his brother.
We have had rumbling and dominance behaviour (mainly from the young one) but no fighting. I moved them to a larger C&C cage to give them more space, which has helped. But the C&C has 2 floors and my older boy now lives pretty much permanently on the top floor (I have even put a food bowl up there for him) and the younger one lives downstairs. The little one goes upstairs from time to time because that's the only place where there is hay, but the older one only goes downstairs when he wants a drink of water.
They pretty much live separately all the time now and when they do meet, we get rumbling and growling.
Is it OK to leave them like this, or should I divide the C&C properly and separate them, seeing as they don't seem to be interested in each other's company.
