Hi guys,
I have two separated boars side by side and one seems to enjoy being on his own while the other is becoming increasingly withdrawn. Id love to get Eddie a friend and was wondering how likely it is that bonding him with a baby would work out? There is only one rescue anywhere near me that does bonding and I’d have to ask my mum to drive me there and back, and when I contacted them before they said that they will only allow 2 boars in a minimum of 16sqft. This obviously is good but I would only be able to accommodate a 4x2 c&c, which I understand is the minimum for 2 pigs. I know it’s always better to size up but at this moment in time it’s not really possible and the space I have would fit a 4x2 perfectly. From my understanding, a baby should be able to bond easily as Eddie is 2 and would naturally be the dominant one. If it went wrong there is no way we could accommodate another separate cage so obviously it is risky, but I don’t think we really have another choice. Has anyone got experience of bonding a baby with an adult and did it go well?
Thank you
