New baby

[RinT]

Hello! Today I got a baby Sow for my neutered Boar (he is 2 1/2 and a rescue and she is 4 weeks old). I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to gain her trust/help her feel safe?

Thanks!

As with all piggies, it is something that will take time.

Let her settle in for a week and then sit by the cage and talk to her.

Make sure her cage is right next to his so they can interact given she is very young to be alone. Making sure his cage is secure given he isn’t yet pier neuter safe.

@Piggies&buns has given you good advice, especially about ensuring that the cage is very secure.
