Hi everyone,
We bought 2 pigs, believing them both to be sows, but it now looks like one of them is in fact a boar and keeps trying to defile his sister. We have a 2-storey cage, so can keep them separate in there, but I'm not sure about the run. My plan is to build a mesh divider and put it down the middle of the run, so that they would at least have each other's company for the time being (neutering is currently under investigation), but I don't know if this would be even worse for them - being able to see each other but not physically interact beyond sniffing.
I'd really appreciate any opinions on this one, I need to get it resolved quickly.
