Due to unforeseen circumstances, I am going to have to split up my 5 year old boar from my new 4 month old boar.
I plan to have my old boy by himself in a hutch a couple ft away from the main hutch.
There are no rescues near me, and the closest one is over an hour away and we would not be able to make that trip for another around 2 months, so unfortunately I do believe I will be getting a pets at home baby.
I really wouldn’t like to, but unfortunately due to the lack of rescues/options near me it is what I am left with.
I am worried about putting an excitable, quite boisterous almost teenager (4 months, 830g) with a baby. Will Reggie take it in as a “uncle” if he’s still a baby himself. As Reggie humps Winston probably around 10 times a day (every time they meet just about), will this cause issue for the baby? I really don’t want him to take advantage of the poor thing but I know he’s quite reliant on Winston and wouldn’t do well without another pig.
Has anyone else had to bond to a boar of this age?
Any advice appreciated x
