Make Rumblestrutting And Swaying Hips At Female?

[FrodoPiggins]

Hi guys! I have just gotten a new 10 week old female for my 7 month old male, Frodo. They have a cage together, BUT IT IS DIVIDED! My female, Ash, can move the cage fabric and sniff at Frodo and he cane over to see what was going on, they were squeaking and he started rumblestrutting and swaying his hips. What does this mean? I know there is a 3 week quarantine period and then introduce them on neutral ground. My little sister had gotten ash out and I had Frodo and I held him so he could sniff her bum and he bit at her fur. Please let me know what this means ASAP! I really don’t want to have to get rid of her! If I can find a link to the cage I have I’ll post it

Rumblestrutting is a boar's way of showing off to the ladies, or the other boars. It's his way of showing what a manly fellow he is, so perfectly natural. Is he neutered?

Hi!

Is Frodo neutered or not?

If not, then please NEVER put them together and please keep them in separate cages next to other so there is no chance of Frodo ever getting in her cage. Sows can come into season spontaneously in the presence of any boy. Impregnation can happen before you have time to separate. A sow in season ( which is what you are currently witnessing) can cause a boar to surprisingly agile and determined to get to her; never underestimate that!

Please be aware that you have signed up to a strictly non-breeding forum and that you have consented to follow our forum rules.
20% of ALL births go wrong. Sows come into season within hours of giving birth. Baby boars can start making babies with mum and sisters from 3 weeks onward and sows come into season at 4 weeks old. They are nonstop breeding machines until they usually die at a young age, either from birth or pregnancy complications or from their bodies wearing out. Unless Frodo is safely neutered, they will never be able to live together stably.

Neutered boars need a full 6 weeks post-op wait until they are 100% safe to meet a sow. The little baby in my avatar is the unplanned daughter of an over 5 week post-op boar (not one of mine), just to prove that particular point.

Here are some videos of sows experiencing a strong season, so you can brace for what to expect once Frodo is ready to meet her after the end of his neutering post-op wait. Barri has thankfully got past his teenage hormones and is a lot more chilled out. Rumblestrutting is very normal behaviour of a boar around a sow; there is a phase when you'd think that newly bonded 'husboars' have lost the rest of their vocabulary!

Please keep them apart as you are causing a huge rise in both their hormones by allowing them to be in close contact!
You will end up with two unhappy, disturbed piggies who only want to do what comes naturally to any animal that is in season.
Read @Wiebke advice carefully then follow her excellent advice!
If you can’t afford a second cage you may seriously have to think of rehoming.

I agreed with the others, PLEASE don’t introduce your two piggies to each other, even on neutral ground; they will breed and there are enough unwanted pigs out there unfortunately
It would also be better to move your two piggies apart; keeping them so close will be very stressful, particularly for your boar I would think
