Will Boarding Cause Fighting?

[Piggy mum]

Hi
I'm going on holiday in august and have booked my pigs into boarding for 10 days. My only concern is that I will come home to fighting pigs as the cage is a bit smaller than what they have at home and it's a new environment... I thought about bringing some familiar toys that smell of them to help. Any other suggestions of what I could do to help?

How old are your boys? Would the boarder accept you bringing them over in their own cage (provided you can transport that). Having their own (smelly, not cleaned stuff) while they settle into new surroundings can make things easier as any change of territory usually requires a new hierarchy sort-out.

My boys are 21 months. Unfortunately I have a C&C so wouldn't work- would be easier if it would! Thanks, I'm just so worried I'll come back to fighting pigs! I won't take any houses with them so hopefully they won't fight over them.
