Boars Introduction

[Sbhawkes]

Hi, I've recently got a new pig, I got him from an adoption centre, he was very young, almost 5 months old. Previous owners didn't want him- I don't know why because he's the cutest little thing. Anyway... I already have a guinea, he's 4 and lost his brother quite a while ago, but I've always wanted to get him a friend. I've done the introduction of which they were very happy to be in eachothers company, I just wanted to know what a few of the behaviour noises meant. They live indoors, but they are always making a low purring noise at eachother, is this a good sigh?.
Thank you for any advice.

Purring noise if its what i think it is will be rumbling and yes if its not followed by any teeth chattering.

Oh I'm glad. Thank you, I've been watching them, they happily share a bed and a food bowl. I was just worried about the noises, they are constantly chatting away at eachother, for the first day they chased each other, and now the littlest one lays on my older ones back.
