I did have a look at previous threads but they are all quite old so I am wary some ideas/opinions would be out of date.
The rescue I am speaking to have a 5-6 month old pig who would be able to picked up Saturday considering he stays well through the week (he just came in today).
I have already sent a message asking if they vet check their animals or quarantine them and I am just waiting for a reply back, so I am just wondering if there is anything else I need to think about when taking a pig from a rescue home.
My bereaved boy is showing signs of loneliness and would like to get him a new friend as soon as possible but obviously do not want to risk his health.
I am also wondering if 5-6 month old boars are more similar to teenagers or babies, from what I know he would be classed as a teenager, I think. Does anyone have any experience of bonding a newly teenager boar, so potentially coming in/in a large hormonal spike.
My boy is quite laid back and very skittish/nervous, so I fear a hormonal young boar will be a lot for him, or is there a chance a 5-6 month old boar may look up to a older boar... although I doubt it as I remember how boisterous my boys were at that age. I am aware it will come down to personality but aside from that is there a sort of basic understanding of the likelihood of them getting on, if we removed personalities altogether.
