The bonding went really well tonight. Nic and Elliot (Craig David) brought David round to meet Teddy and they have gone home bosom buddies. Hope you enjoy the photos. I wish I had taken an 'after' picture of the bonding pen, it looked like 20 pigs had run amok in it and pooped everywhere. Teddy and David had fun though:

I know, I was a bit concerned about this bonding Sally because of their ages, but they were popcorning like mad. We kept trying to tuck his leg in, that snuggly is a bit small rolleyes xx
 
Just had an update, Craig is rumbling and chattering at David and Teddy through the C & C bars and upsetting them a bit. Now there is a fleece divider going up so he can't see them and chatter at them. Hope it works. xx
 
Best of luck and a happy future for these two gorgeous boars!
 
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww x)x) what handsome boars! They look so cuddley in thier cosy :)) I'm glad the bonding went well too....and beautiful buns too :))
 
aaaaaaw those photos are lovely jane i love them hahaha.

the bonding went brilliant at Janes, but Craig is causing a lot of friction in the room and david and teddy are now chattering at each other and dont seem to be settling.

i put the fleece divider up but craig still chattering and trying to rip the fleece down and throwing himself at the cc cage. its not making any difference to his behaviour. it seems that because craig is chattering is causing david and teddy to do it to.

iv just had to put craig in the cat box in the bedroom I'm not quite sure what to do at this stage. Elliots told me to put him back in his cage but i dunno whether to put him in the spare cage and put him in my bedroom for tonight but will that do any good in the long run?

answers on a post card hahah. I'm gutted cus they got on so well at janes and on the way home they were cuddled up in the catbox. then we get home and WHAM BAM CRAIG GOT ANNOYED haha xx
 
iv put craig back in his cage and turned the light off. david at one end of the cage and teddy at the other haha. craig making all sorts of noise and trying to get the fleece off the side of the cage, hes a naughty boy iv tried to have a word with him before but hes not listening @)
 
i think craig deserves a dunk in the bath for this bad behaviour. that will teach him a lesson hahahah.

i think craig thinks hes a bouncer on a nightclub or something hes got a big chip on his shoulder lol x
 
Teddy and David slept well together overnight, but Craig is not happy about another pig so near, and his rumblings are upsetting them so I think Nic is going to temporarily set him up in spare cage she has in her bedroom, and she is going to get a table built for the c and c so one can be on top and one can be below rather than side by side. We are hoping that by taking Craig away for a little while, but having lots of lots of cuddles without smelling David and Teddy on her, it will all work out ok. xx
 
update : craig now in my bedroom in the spare cage. Teddy literally hasnt moved out of his logs all day hes just been sat there hasnt eaten anything at all. david has been humping teddy and rumble strutting still, slight teeth chattering off them both (mainly david) and lots of rumbling when they go near eachother.


not sure if this is good or bad or normal. they are definitely not settled like they were at Janes.

come on piggies sort yourselves out x
 
Just got in from work to check in here. I think Teddy is not afraid of David, as they got on so well together, but maybe he has been freaked out by Craig and has taken a backward step. There were no hideys in the bonding pen, and they had lots of fun chasing, so provided you are happy they are warm enough your could take the logs out and maybe cover a corner to still give a feeling of security. Teddy will probably be eating when you're not looking, but if he is scared to come out, taking away the logs should help and they may start chasing around like they did here. Hopes. x
 
thanks jane, they seem calmer tonight iv fed them and teddy ate a chunk of carrot some romaine lettice and some parsley which i was really pleased about. i was worried teddy wouldnt eat anything and would let david eat it all. i was buzzing i put some carrot in and he ran out picked it up and put it in his logs lol.


I'm going to leave the hideys in tonight and tomorrow just cover a corner like you said. i did remove a hidey before and he just ran into the side of the cage, perhaps its because he is in new surroundings and maybe hes just getting used to it especially if he quite timid anyway.

at the moment the pigs are in me spare room cus me pig room downstairs being decorated, i heard pitter patter of feet before but thats probably david haha

iv topped their hay up and I'm going to go to bed and see what tomorrow brings. got smelly craig in me room ahhaha hes proper got the sulks on him. aaw xx

ill update the thread in the morning let you know how they both are. x
 
good morning people

been in to see teddy and david this morning they were both under the fleece hidey together.

iv cleared the logs out so they just have their fleecey corner, little bit of chasing, little bit of rumbling and a few cheeky popcorns off david. there doesnt seem to be an 'atmosphere' like there was yesterday.

we will see waht the day brings x
 
boys just had their veg teddy came out and ate some 'bits', still not seem him munching much hay or drinking. there was no snatching or jealousy from david when the boys were having their treats.

both boys chilling under the fleece hidey haha.

craig in MY ROOM pulling his face haha xx
 
Just been in with the boys been hoovering out their cage and teddy even ran out and had some hay whilst the hoover was on. woohooooooooooooo how goods that. xx
 
Gosh Nic, that is great. They are quite confident and comfortable with each other now. Obviously getting used to your house noises too. Brill. x (Give Craig a little hug from me. ) xx
