New Born Pup
I was left with a lone sow, Crumble, a couple of months ago. After several failed bonding with other adults, we tried her with a baby sow, and all seemed to be good.
However, we are now into week 3 and I'm not so sure. Crumble now seems to be very agitated with the baby (Coco). She constantly chases her away, nips at her, and rumbles constantly. There hasn't been any proper aggression, but I'm concerned about Coco's confidence when she's constantly being driven away.
At the moment, it seems like Coco is making Crumble constantly on edge, and neither seems to be getting anything out of the relationship. I'm considering trying Coco with my 2 younger pigs. Crumble was much more relaxed when she was on her own.
I've never had this situation before, so I'm at a bit of a loss what to do for the best.
Thanks in advance x
