as of tomorrow i am going to set about rebonding my boys, bob really isnt coping well with the loss of munchie so i really dont think it is good for him to be alone for long, and as i have 2 lone boars and already had a boar reserved as a friend for heath anyway i thought i may as well start sooner.

i am going to start by trying to rebond merlin now he is older. as he is the hardest to bond i would prefer if i could get him bonded with either bob or heath, so that one of the others (who both take better to new pigs) will visit the reserved boy, and stand a higher chance of bonding.

my first plan is to try merlin with bob. I'm hoping with merlin being a little older and a little calmer now, bob will put him in his place. it would be good if i can bond merlin with one of the boys so that he wont have to be neutered i just hope it works out now he is older.

the piggy that doesnt bond will be going to meet my reserved boar, who i was due to collect within the next 2 weeks anyway, but this may move foward especially if bob ends up being the piggy left to bond

does everyone think I'm doing the right thing? i feel so bad planning this already as i feel like I'm forgetting about munchie, but I'm trying to think of whats best for my remaining boys. its not fair to have 3 lone boars

i just really wasnt expecting all this and now i have so much to do. i miss munchie :'(
 
Keep trying dear!
as you say they are olderso hopefuly more settled!
my single boars have paired them selves! Herecles and Caterpiller are stll run buddies! which is makeing Caterpiller more friendly! he actually came to see me today!
and the trio is settling down Gingin who isn't so scatty! i'm trying out my friends older boar Rodney tomorrow near to their side to see if he pars up with any of them as he's been on his own for about a month now!
Good luck x
:smitten:
 
thanks ron. I'm hoping merlin will be a good boy and let big bob be the boss. it will make bonding so much easier if i can bond merlin with one of then, because bob and heath are easier to bond, so it would be better if i can take one of them to meet the new boy not merlin
 
Good luck love i too hope that Bob and Merlin become the best of mates :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
see how you go, try the bath trick and the neutral ground as well O0
all paws crossed for you, let us know O0
 
Good luck O0 Hope they all settle quickly and with minimum amount of fuss. Keeping fingers (and paws) crossed! O0
 
merlin and bob are definately no go. they went for each other and bob drew blood :( nothing serious looks like it could have been an accident, merlins got a bit of a cut on his paw :(

guess its onto plan B
 
keep trying :) will you try and bond merlin to heath?
