Should I Wait?

[Lisa21264]

I have a 10 month old boar named Terra who is in the middle of puberty at the moment. I want to get him a friend but he has shown aggressive behavior with us if I put my hand in his cage when he has veggies he chatters his teeth as if to say this is mine. He does the same thing when he is on top of his hidey, Should I wait until he is through his puberty stage to get him a cage mate? He also bites my son during floor/lap time.

This aggression is probably more based around the fact he's scared than anything, most piggies that live on there own are more timid and scared around people and are just a bit more jumpy and things.
Giving him a pal may help with the aggression, however if you are worried, find a young boar, around 6 weeks old, can often make the older piggy take a father roll reducing the amount of dominance and fighting
