So the boys are fighting...

I was hoping things were all going to work out as they have done before, but Ringo is turning 6 months now, and has been picking on Steve. I did know there was a chance of this, which is why I have a spare hutch as a backup. They get along fine in the run, so I'm thinking its a space issue, but I'm not able or willing to buy a bigger hutch, as the one they have is only 9 months old!

So the spare hutch is only 3.5ft, but it will do as a temp hutch for him alone. So I was wondering, can I wait until he's calmed down a bit and over the worst of his hormones, and try and bond them again, so is that him away from Gizmo & Steve for good? He still gets on very well with Gizmo, he loves Gizmo, just Steve he doesn't like, so chances are he would get along with another pig.

Does anybody have any ideas? I really don't know if I should leave him alone, he looks so lonely on his own, and its just so cold now...

Maybe you could get a rescue friend for him and then have two pairs of boars?

I'm thinking I'll go down that route I'll find a 4ft hutch on ebay, then find a friend.

I would go down that route. There is a slight chance that they may work out as an adult trio, but it means a wait of at least another 6-9 months on a chance that is most probably less than 50%.
