Humping

[RJade]

2 weeks ago, I got a 10 week old boar to go with my nearly 1 year old boar. They were fine until just this evening, my older male has starting humping the littler one a quite a bit. It's been about 5 minutes none stop and my littest is being very vocal.

Do I just wait for it to pass?

As long as there are no fights, just sit it out.

If necessary, provide a tunnel or a cardboard box with entrances on opposite sides that only the little one can get into. You can place some soft meadow or orchard hay in the cardboard box.

Incessant humping is when this goes on for hours on end, and the humped piggy can't eat, drink or sleep in peace.

At that age, youngsters are very vocal and dramatic.

Yeah, thanks! It seems to have calmed down now. I've been out to a gig and come back, it's all silent, no more humping.

I do have tubes in, but even when he was in there, he other one was so desperate to get in. And it did calm down when I put more hay in, but as soon as the little one came put to eat, it started again. But no you say it has to go on for hours, I'm not quite as fussed haha.
