i have 3 boars, 2 live together and 1 separate due to fighting with one of the ones in the pair ! they now live side by side divided by mesh ! my question is would it be ok to let all 3 boars have run time together (under watchfull supervision and a towel to hand !) is it possible they may be ok for a few hours in the run without fighting or is it a fight waiting to happen ? with me having 3 sets of piggies and having to rota run time i thought it might be easier if i only have to do 2 rotas rather than 3 ! many thanks x
communal run time ?

There's no real answer to this... Sometimes it works, most of the times it doesn't. What makes it work is a massive run and laid back piggies (which your loner doesn't sound like...).
Personally I wouldn't risk it, I would be afraid it would affect the bonding of the pair, but I've never met your piggies
. You know best, I think....

hmmm - wise words i think !
was just hoping against the odds that they all might happily bounce around and love each other for at least a little while !

How old is he? Could he be neutered or maybe introduced to a baby? Some rescues do adult boar bonding, I know... (mine does but it's in Sweden and not very helpful 
) It can take some time and dating 5-15 different boars before a match is made, but when it's made it's very stable because both will be out of their hormonal years already.
