piggie dilemma i have 5 piggies a trio and a pair all boars

my trio adore one another...

my pairing don't!

does this now mean i have to re house my paired pigs with new pigs

Rocky is an un neutered 13month boar
Humphrey is an un neutered 9 month boar

suggestions please?
 
If they just have an occasional squabble, I would not seperate them just yet.
Have they fought and drew blood? If not, maybe they just need a bigger set-up. My boars used to squabble all the time untill I gave them a bigger cage, then they were friends again.
 
Humphrey is right in the middle of one of the worst periods of stroppiness and Rocky is just getting over his own big hormones, so as long as there aren't any big fights, I would try to sit it out first and hope that things settle down between them once the big hormones have gone - you are MOSTLY there!

New territory will always spark the inevitable dominance discussion.
