Hello again
After much deliberation I decided to get a baby boar as a friend for George so that I wouldn't have to risk a castration op (I'd be devastated if anything happened to him). I have been to a local rescue today (I originally rang about a girl, but they advised a baby boar) and picked up his little pal.
George went to the rescue to meet his new pal, a 4 week old boar (no name yet, need something that goes with George!). There was a lot of sniffing but no aggression so he came home with us.
I cleaned his cage and they are together now. There was a bit of rumbling to start with, but there has been no fighting and they are currently together in the pigloo. I am hearing the odd rumble, but there is no fighting, so I assume this is just George saying I'm the boss? Baby pig has a hidey he can go to that George won't fit into, but he seems perfectly happy to sit in the pigloo.
Is this a good sign so far? Will get some pics tomorrow, think baby has had enough stress for one day.
