Bully pig

[Jodiec]

Hi, i have my 4 new pigs from the rspca the are in 2 pairs. 3 rexes and one abysinian. Now i want to put them all together but Pearl (the aby) is such a bully and she picks on the rexes - even the one she lives with when they have floor time. When i put them all together the rex thats in with Pearl runs straight over to the other rexes! I've just tried her with my adult female whos also quite confident and they had a barny! Now who has put a neutured male in with a confident dominant pig. would they get on or do you think she is just a dominant pig with everyone? The rexes are pretty timid so won't fight back? Any advice please.

Aby's a sooo bossy, I've two living together and it can be pistels at dawn! I would try her with the neutered male it can't hurt to try and she may accept him. Rexes are very timid and friendly, I've got one and they are sweet little pigs.

Good luck!

My dominanat sow launched several kill bill attacks on my neutered boar then wondered why he chattered at her. It might work but mine never worked. Is she bullying her cage mate when they're n the cage? If not then i'd leave them as they are, if she is id try leaving her with your older sow a bit longer so she can be put in her place! Unless they are fighting like a huge ball of fur lol x

I have a bossy sow who lives with a neutered boar, he's the only pig she likes but i had another dominant sow who hated ALL boars - it depends on the individual sow

;D! I have an enormous four year old cow (sorry, sow ) called Silvia and she's flattened both of my neutered boars and started on the sows. She's old, she's grumpy, and by heck if she doesn't get her own way someone's going to get it. ;D

The solution? I gave Silvia and her companion my spare hutch. :-\
