New Born Pup
Have introduced a new to pig into our herd of 3, The neutral ground intro sort of went well but the original 3 pigs just ignored the new pig, the new pig popcorned and did eat hay with the other 3 who didn't seem too fused about her this went on for 5 hours, So have now introduced them in the cage,
Expecting the original 3 pigs to be dominant here but the new pig has taken the central ground in the cage and will chase the other 3 girls who wont stand their ground and just run and hide in the hay or one of the houses. When new ig goes into the house they leave, sometimes quietly some time with a high pitched wheek. When facing off the original pigs all run away.
All pigs are getting food and water but hide when they see new pig.
Occasionaly one of the pigs will challenge the new pig and she will run off and keep out of that pigs way for a while, will have a nap and will then start being boss again.
All pigs are girls
New pig we were told was 2/3 years but we think are younger
Our other Pigs range from 3 to 4 years
Any thoughts
