Well a freidns of mine found a 8 week old boar that she could not keep... so I took him for her. We've had in in quarintine for a while now. His name is Kink-Ko (my 1 1/2 year old son named him) Well over the past few days we have been introducting him to Pickle as we hope they will get along well enough to be housed together.

At first on the floor, now after cleaning out a cage they are spending a few hours a day together. The first hour all pickle did was try and hump him. Now its becoming really funny as the little guy has taken the house over. He has no problem with pickle coming in and laying down. But pickle being 11 months old is being dominant to him. I just watched Kink-Ko walk out of the house, Pickle start to snort and be a brat. Now Kink-Ko is half the size if not smaller then Pickle. He took one look at pickle and head butted him. I never seen a piggie jump as high as pickle did. He ran to the other side of the cage and give me the most pathetic "mommmmmyyyyy!" look I've ever seen.

I've been watching them carefully have have a spray bottle on hand incase of a fight but all in all Pickle is the only who has a problem and its nothing to get worried about. I just think another week or so and he'll be just fine with the idea of a little brother. Kink-Ko could careless if pickle has his panties in a knot. For the most part the little guy lets him hump him and just munches away on some hay.:))
 
Hi
The best thing to do when introducing the boys and if there are no problems is to keep them together as every time you seperate them the next time the process starts all over again.
I have recently bonded 2 of my older boys with younger ones, and whilst they can be assertive, i have had no problems.
I love to watch them when they are together, they seem to come alive when they have company.. and are especially funny when they share things like dandelion leaves.. one at each end :(|)
hope it all goes well x
 
Thanks, I was told by someone else on another site that I should do what I'm doing but your right, it makes sence that they would go a over the "hi my name is Pickle and you are?" every time I put them together.

I had done the same as you originally with 2 of mine. It seemed to make matters worse. they were getting on fine, the rumbling etc would start to die down then it would be from scratch again next meeting. Some people on here told me to leave them and mind i didnt get any sleep the first night, Sat up watching them in case they had a falling out lol. :(|). but they didnt. My second pairing i was much more relaxed and it couldnt have gone easier (fingers crossed) I think they get confused when heres a piggy friend oops no you are alone now again :)

Cant wait to see pics!

After tori's advice I let them in by the night time they had settled and this morning I was checking on everyone and they are cuddling! its too cute.
