Re-Bonding after same-cage separation?

[Dystopoly]

This might be a bit of a silly question, but I’ve been wondering whether or not you have to re-introduce two pigs (boars, in my case) on neutral territory with all the precautions of a complete re-bonding if you’ve simply had a couple see-through grids between them for a day or two? Would it be okay to simply remove the divider as long as no aggression signs were being shown, or do they still see it as completely new territory?
I’m asking in the precaution of needing to temporarily separate my boys out in the case of testosterone flare-ups, since Apollo can get quite relentless when the mood hits him.

Yes it’s advised you re introduce as if doing it for the first time. Remember their smells will be on either side. So they won’t want the other encroaching on their territory (as they see it).

It can be relentless especially when they’re in the throes of their teenage years. But wait it out, tough as it is. When my boars started, there was chasing, humping and teeth chattering for well over an hour. It eventually stopped though.

Please always introduce and separated piggies in neutral ground and not in their cage.
