Due to our new run setup my 5 year old boar can now interact with my 5 month old + 8 week old boar pair through bars, for around 10-12 hours a day.
The issue is the area the pair have now is much larger, and they aren’t really that interested in poor Winston so i’ve mostly found my old boy just sat staring into the pairs run, almost waiting for one of them to come up and interact with him.
He does go back and forth from lying down and eating hay to looking but I feel sad seeing him just peer into their area.
I’ve also found him with his fur puffed up a few times the past few days and i’m really worried he’s either sick or cold. He seems healthy aside from a squeak he always has in his nose and his slight back pain. He is currently not on pain killers to manage his back pain as we believed it was majorly caused by his you her friend, but now i’m wondering if he may need to be on painkillers full time.
He has a slight hardening in one of his back knees but nothing major.
I also cant take him inside even though it does get really quite cold here, but he has plenty of places to hide and loads of hay to snuggle into.
I just feel really anxious about the whole thing, everytime I want to be happy about the setup something else comes up and makes me really anxious.
