Hi everyone,
I’m hoping for a bit of advice. 3 months ago I introduced a neutered boar to my herd of 3 sows. If I’m being honest, I don’t think I introduced them very well; i used the split cage method for around 2 weeks and then let them meet each other in a large neutral playpen. However, they were only in the pen for 2 hours before moving into the enclosure together. Since then, the boar will not stop rumble strutting, literally all the time except when he’s sleeping and I’m worried he’s stressing out the girls, especially the littlest piggy. I haven’t noticed any serious aggression but occasionally he mounts the girls. Surely the rumble strutting should have lessened by now. Do you think this means the bonding has failed and I should separate them, or is this normal? Any advice would be appreciated![Two hearts :two_hearts: 💕](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f495.png)
