Introducing A Boar Into A Harem Of Girls

[Tiamolly123]

I am at a loss my lad is about 3-4months old I want him to be husboar to 4 females & it is not going well at all he's going round trying to be friendly & they are just chasing him. There is one girl that is quite friendly & will eat with him. But apart from that they are horrid to him & are even getting snappy with each other. This has always been my most stable group. Help!

I'm sure it will settle down, are they together now? Chasing seems to be par for the cause with piggies, providing there's no signs of aggression (yawning, standing on hind legs and shaking at each other etc) then unfortunately you kinda have to let it play out.

Have they got plenty of distractions? I also tend to use some calming spray near the area of bonding which I feel helps them and me.

Have you seen any noticeable sort out in the hierarchy? I know when bonding before you can clearly see who's the boss, then who's second in command etc as time goes on and they all settle into their role.

Hope it starts to calm down soon!

Have you got a photo of them in their set up? That might help

I'll get a photo I did have bridges etc at the front but that seemed to heed his escape.
