Re-introducing my boars.

[Wheeky]

During puberty my boars fell out and I had to seperate them. However, now that they're a year old and less angsty I'm hoping that they'll be able to live together again. (Seperated they had 2x3 each, together they would have 4x3 which gives them much more space).

I have just cleaned the cage so that things are neutral and have put both piggies in together. I'm keeping a close eye on them and if there is any aggression I will seperate them again.
So far there has been lots of rumbling from Elliot, a few annoyed squeaks and highest nose competitions. Is this just normal dominance behaviour or should I expect things to start heating up?

Thanks!

Fights can break out at any time over the next few days and weeks; be vigilant as they can happen right out of the blue.

Best of luck with your boys!

So far so good. Things seemed to have settled down and they are now eating hay from the same tray.

I would very much hope that they can make it together!
