New Born Pup
Hello!
I need some help bonding please, I've never ever had any luck bonding sows and I just want them to have the best life together! I think I get too scared once the teeth chattering and nipping starts!
So long story short I have 8 Sows, I did have a neutered boar, Hoku, but unfortunately he passed away this morning
Harmony (4y) and Lyra (3y) I won't bond with others as Harmony goes straight for the attack she's only happy with Lyra who is her daughter.
Nova (4y) used to live with just Hoku, and I don't want her being alone for long. She lives next door to Milky (1y), io (1y) and Cassie (9m). I did try bonding them 3 with Nova and Hoku last year but it didn't go that well.
I now recently rescued 2 Sows from a home that couldn't give them the attention they need, Cosmo (5m) & Astrid (5m).
I would like to bond Nova, Milky, io, Cassie, Cosmo & Astrid so I can put them in a nice open area and for them to live in a nice herd. I've always had trouble bonding, I've always followed a nice open area, plenty of hay and veg around etc etc. But they all end up teeth chattering at some point, nipping and lunging. This is the first time bonding Nova without Hoku, and Astrid & Cosmo bonding eith anyway. I'm worried this won't work again and my dream won't happen
Do I watch them with the nipping and teeth chattering and face lift offs, and hope for the best? I think I seperate too soon.
Any advice is appreciated
Thanks, Courtney x
