Concerned About Trio Of Boars Behaviour

I think I'm going to have to rehome tiger. I've worked money and space out and I just can't comfortably afford to keep two cages- and the biggest I could make their cage would be 3x3 for 2 boars which isn't really enough. Hopefully somebody will be able to take him and find him a suitable boar or neuter him and find him a girlfriend. I really want the best for him but I just can't afford to have two cages :(
I have a temporary cage- should I take tiger out and have him on his own for now or leave him with the other two until I can find him a good home but keep the spare Cage incase I need to urgently separate?

Thank you so much for your help!

I would be tempted to take Tiger out now, to prevent any of the others getting hurt, as it sounds like it is very tense at the moment.
I'm sorry you are having to rehome Tiger.
A 3X3 (9 grids square) cage is more floor space than the minimum recommended for two pigs 4X2 (8 grids square) , but slightly less than what is recommended for 2 boars, 5X2 (10 grids square) . I hope that makes sense.
If you were able to have the 3X3 as well as your current 5X3(I don't know if I read that right) it may possibly work to house 2 pairs of boars separately.
 
I would separate tiger now as he has already bitten them twice.I know it is a hard decision and I admire you for doing so.Good luck finding him a new home.Duo you have a good guinea pig vet and if so would you consider neutering him so after 6 weeks he could be retired with a female.May settle better with a female
 
I can only extend the cage to a 3x6 so that's all I would have to work with. I have a spare cage but it's tiny and I would prefer him to be in a 2x3 than this cage! I'm going to speak with my boyfriend and see what he thinks I can fit in the room. But I really don't think I can expand it anyway :(
If I neutered him and have him a girlfriend he would have to be in a different room otherwise Mickey and Jett may start fighting with being able to smell the female?
