I recently lost a boar and a sow in the space of a week - traumatic times. This leaves me with an older sow Bella (approx 5-6yo) and a young boar Fergus (just over 1 year old) I currently have them next to each other for company. They are both neutered and Bella was the submissive one in the sow relationship, whilst Fergus was the dominant one in the boars. I understand that bonding is a compatibility thing, and will eventually try and bond these two as a pair, but I’m unsure of what behaviour to expect with them both being neutered. Fergus does rumblestrut on his side of the grids and Bella makes submissive noises on the other. If they bond, will there be any sexual activity if Bella doesn’t come into season? I understand that mating in most animals is for breeding purposes. If anyone has any experience with a neutered mixed pairing, I would be grateful for any advice. Thanks in advance.
