Hi all! I am new to the forum and I am very impressed with the advice given.
Therefore I was hopfully looking for some help regarding my two boars, eddie and kev. They are not litter mates but I got them both at the same time, they are aged 2 and a half months. They both had mites at the beginning and one was very sick with a respitory infection so were seperated from each other for approx 3 weeks when I brought them home. I took the advice for introducing them but the battle for dominace is still going on. Eddie got a nip on the nose and there was some serious threat of fighting. I can't bring myself to leave them on their on in a cage now in case some serious damage is done.
I divided the cage but this didn't provide enough space for each pig. I purchased another cage and they are now seperated. During floor time I have to supervise but they seem so so happy to be with one another one min but then square up to each other for a fight the next min. I really do not want to have them living in cages on their own as it's so sad to see them so lonely. Should I keep trying...does it takes months for them to decide who is the boss. No one is backing down! Sorry for long post but I am very stressed out about this. I would be very thankful so some information.
