Like I posted on your other thread, a piggy friend might help. Also, the more you pick him up, the more he'll get used to it. Once he's figured out that nothing bad happens when he gets picked up, he'll be less scared.
Remember, until he learns otherwise, every new sound and experience is scary and he thinks he could be eaten at any time.

so pretty much their normal lie is being affraid because of predators then? that makes sense, He just has to have time to realize that all is well and that nothing bad will happen to him? I guess it just could take a while. Just have to have more patience I guess.
Yes I know about the friend, I am planning on it at somepoint just seeing if I can break this without that point. we have talked about getting another one and have looked just not got one yet.

Or a neutered female...
We have two boars. They're great and we love them to bits and wouldn't swap them... BUT the only problem with two boys is they may not get along and end up fighting. Especially when they're hormonal. The stress our two have given us over the last four months....!

If you got a girl, and didn't have him neutered there would be potentially be babies and lots of them
How old is he now? If you got a young boar he might want to "father" him and protect him.
Once the young boar reaches puberty they may fight for dominance but I think if you leave them to it (as long as no blood is drawn) then they should sort things out.
