New Born Pup
Hello,
I am a first time boar owner and have 2 boars that are almost 6 months old
In general, they have been ok with each other I think except for the expected dominance behaviours- some of these have gotten quite intense but there was never any blood drawn or resource guarding so I left them to it
Well today I got back from work and found one of them (who I thought was dominant but perhaps not?) has a bloody nose. I can’t tell if it’s a bite or a scratch but I’ve managed to put some leucillin on it
I have put a divider in their cage in case it was inflicted by the other pig however I did not see it happen so I truly don’t know. They have been chattering and rumblestrutting through the bars and one is bar biting the divider since I put it up.
Should I do a temporary separation, and if so how long for? Or is this the end of the line? I will be heartbroken if they can’t go back together
