There are some pigs who just don't mix with others, no matter how many they're attempted to be paired with, and others who have company of other pigs just not in the same hutches/cages, but know each other are there. I have 3 lone boars who I can't get new companions for, I don't have the money to do that right now, plus I can't put any of them together, I tried Robin with both Ollie and Todd when his cage-mate, Sam, died last year, and he was such a sod, I couldn't leave him with either of them, and a while before then, the brothers had fallen out because of the girls, clever mummy rolleyes Though they still go out into the runs by each other and have their hutches near each other, I think sometimes that's just as beneficial.
We could do with that law when people are buying pigs. I'm not including adopting because most rescues will work to finding lone pigs cage-mates, whereas most pet stores couldn't give a monkeys what happens to them once money is handed over.
It's a nice thought, though flawed in some places I feel.
