I picked up a boy from an animal shelter. My existing boy is 6 months, new guy is 2 yrs old. He is 'replacing' my boar who was pts yesterday. I had them interact with each other at the shelter, but I think they were so scared at the shelter that I couldn't see how they really felt. They were both very quiet, not very much rumbling, and no humping. I decided to adopt (can return if doesn't work out). They are happy to eat together. They chase, they rumble. They make washing motions. The new guy yawns to show his teeth often, but half the time he also wanted to settle and sleep. But there have been a lot of stand offs and lunges, but no actual fighting or blood drawn. After their bickering, rumbling, and almost-fights, they go back to eating and keeping their distance. It's been an hour or so. They are both sleeping now on either side of the neutral cage. Mainly it's the lunging that bothers me because my baby is the one who does it and seems very displeased. His old brother was very submissive. Should I let them be?
It is my first time doing this, technically. Last time was bonding my 6 month old who was a baby, to his brother. They hit it off instantly, w/o aggression.
