Will my boars fight if a doe bunny is in the room?

[Bekki]

If you have seen my other threads on adopting 3 piggies and a rabbit you will know my housing is not perfect.

My plan is to move the boys into a correx only cage ontop of their current ferplast 140 and the give the 140 to a doe rabbit who will have the run of the room as well as the cage.

So will her smell make my boars likely to fight? she was in their room for a few days but not as close as directly below them.

My 2 boys had supervised garden time with my doe, they never bothered. In fact, the doe used to line the pair of them up and wash them!

No not at all, her smells are somthing completely off the radar to piggies, she is after all a completely different species ... nothing for them to get excited about! We used to have doerabbits and male piggies and if they were in their runs next to one another you'd think they didnt even realise the other had existed.

Nope...
Boys won't fight if any female animal is in the same room... Guinea pigs included...
I keep all my pigs in a shed and have never had boys fighting because of females being in the same air space...
So a doe would he fine...

My boars lived with a foster carer and they squabbled a lot more when there were sows in the room so id rather avoid that situation in case it gets nasty. My doe is moving into their room now :-)
