The two boars that I rescued (Dave and Alex) have been fighting. I think they were doing it before they came to me, because Dave had a lot of scratches. They are doing it loads more now, I think its because they can smell my other boar and his 4 girlfriends.
I have tried putting them back together gradually (using the advice on barmy4boars), but they are not getting any better, only worse! They will even attack each other on my lap! Dave now has a very very sore lip.
They are separated now, but both look sad and lonely!
The Vet where I have been doing work experience said he will nueter them for me, at a reduced rate, if I wish. I feel confident in letting him do it because he knows a lot about piggies, and has done the operation lots of times.
If I nueter them both, will it change their behaviour? Will they be less likely to attack each other? Would it make it easier to put them back together? Or would the best option be to pair them up with a sow each? Damon has 4 sows living with him, so it wouldn't mean taking on any more pigs. Or, would it not be sensible to take any of Damon's girls away now?
Sorry about all the questions! This pair are stressing me out and making me feel bad!
