I carnt upload the video
They both come face to face, a lot of teeth showing both go stiff , really really loud teeth chatter then attack
Max the black one wants to mount fudge which he let's him a little , but if fudge trys on max that's when it's attack

This forum doesn't have a video uploading facility. You need up upload somewhere else on a public setting to be able to link into here.
 
Ok I'm new to all this I will give it a try
Could it have something to do with Max
We got him of a friend of a friend who put him with another boar in a really small cage ,The out come was max had no fur left on is back end and also a cut ear we have nursed him back to health but felt he needed a friend, The only other option was that they were going to take him back to the pet shop because the other had taken over the cage

Poor boy! I would expect that Max may not tolerate being dominated by another boar after that experience and the may overreact in defence (fear-aggression).
 
The problem I have is I only have one cage and one temporary cage I haven't got the room for two cages permanently
I don't max being on his own again
Option 2
I could take fudge back to the rehousing centre where he came from and try max with a baby boar
Option 3
Take fudge back get max neutered and try him with a female ?
 
id recommend letting the meet with bars inbetween for around a week first for 4 hours per day.. then let them together for floor time for 2 hours a week the increase by 2 hours each week till you get to 6 hours floor time(3 weeks) every day! if you notice fighting when moving to the next stage go to the stage before and do that for another week.. eventually youll get bonded pigs. this works for all the pigs I bond in my rescue so should work for you :)

I am linking in @pig in the city, who fosters for BARC (Barnsley Animal Rescue Charity), who may be able to help you on a local basis and can also help you with neutering vet recommendations as BARC does neuter single boars.
Personally, I would go for option 3, as I feel that Max may likely always have problems with boars. With a baby boy, these will be bound to resurface as soon as the boy hits the hormonal teenage months. However, neutering depends very much on finding either well practised guinea pig neutering vet (ideally for a rescue with a neutering policy) or an exotic specialist with lots of experience in small furries operation. Max is looking at a 6 weeks post op wait before he is 100% safe to be with a sow. BARC offers bonding meetings at the rescue, so you will come home with a new sow or sows only if there is success.
 
Hi Andrew, what a dilemma for you, l will message you my number and we can have a talk about options
