Any advise on how to put two baby boars with a 1-2 year old boar (any tips would be appreciated ! :)
 
Boar trios are notoriously tricky. Only in exceptional cases will they work. Personally, I wouldn't advise it at all as it could disrupt the relationship between the current pair. They have also yet to reach their adolescent phase. When they do so one of the younger boys may challenge the older boar for authority - this could potentially lead to a serious fall out.

Has your friend considered boar-dating the older boar, so that he might find another friend of his own?

No I will let her know about how tricky it is Could you explain boar dating ?
The reason she is in this situation is because she had a pair of boars who got on well (Hathaway and Louie I believe there is a inspector mourse theme going on) This is the sad part she has a breeder behind her back garden who lets the males and babys run loose in his garden her next door neighbour has a cat you get the picture she ends up with a baby half alive turn up she puts it in a box as she is going out for the day and surprisingly the baby lives (i will point out that this is not the first time the cat has attacked the guinea pigs) and still he lets them out she rings the rspca and they go and check the place out they are well kept therefore they cannot prosecute.
so she put the baby with the males slowly with them and they dont get on harry has been on his own for 1-2 years she now needs to get him a mate and finds two baby boars ineed of a home she cant get them yet until they are old enough to leave home so she needs some advice i hope you can give me some useful information to give her the problem is she has to get two because she can not leave an odd number (i will point out she is not going to that breeder and is rescue friendly as she didnt want to dump the baby on the rescue!
Thanks for your time Astrid x :)
