Today rubies babies are 3 weeks old eating and drinking alone and full of life. There is two boys and they need to 'fly the nest' and I have henry their father who is currently a lone piggy, can I bond them today or do I have to wait longer?
 
I did this, with Lilly's only boy. Given that i've only done it once and that I only did it with one baby boar and not two, if wikebe's thread contradicts what i say now, I demand you take her advice over mine as I'm sure it has a lot more to back it up.

Basically, I just found a netural place, like a bath tub or a run, gave them all one of something like a hide away an ** blanket area or whatever, and just...see how it goes... like dating :) x
 
As long as they can eat and drink unaided, do it now before it is too late. There is an ideal weight they should be which I think is 250g.

If you linger too long mummy could get pregnant again...! Dad should accept them fairly well and go into a fatherly mode, but best to introduce on neutral territory as normal I would think.
 
Hi,

I bonded my 3 week old male piggie to a lone boar I had, I introduced them in thier indoor run then, when I saw the got on housed them together andthey have got on really well:))

Not sure about a trio though if you are bonding more than two together
 
Thanks everyone all is going well, little bit humping off tigger but henry and pigglet are getting along great! All are eating carrots and readigrass, its lovely to see my little henry with a friend!

So that would be ruby, pooh, eeyore, rosie and sadie together.

Is it too soon?

Ahh right, I understand now :) hmmm I'm not sure, they probably can be bonded but it's whether mum pig would let her older daughters near their little sisters when they are so small.

I'm off to give it a go, we will see if it works later :(|)
 
Well the boys are all bonded in their cage as happy as anything Henry is loving the company:))

Sadly Ruby was very overprotective of the baby girls although rosie and sadie were very well behaved and nice and gentle with the girls, I will try again next week:)
