They been in there new huch a week now n the prob I got Is smndge has stayed on top n rolo n jack most live on bottom I took them out to clean it n now jack n smudge are fight when ever they close to each other what best thin for me to do put them all back together or. Leave smudge on top n. jack on bottom rolo is. happy to be with both n. sometime gose up ladder. to see smudge x
 
Boar trios so rarely work. I would leave the two that get on best together but the remaining piggy will need a friend. Could you take him boar dating to your nearest rescue? Is there space for the hutch to be divided into two? It has to have each side being at least 140 cm by 60 cm.
 
I would leave things as they are with Smudge on the top floor and Jack and Rolo at the bottom and split them up permanently. You can always contact Milhaven Rescue in Keighley for boar dating Smudge with a companion of his choice; they have successfully paired up several member's fallen out or bereaved boars again. Rolo obviously likes Jack's company more even though he is getting on with both.

Thanks both I really didnt thin it would come to this as in zoo zone they all got on so not sure why they are doing this as you know I put up some new pic in ther new home was thinking of blocking the hole where ramp gose then they have more room x
 
Boars tend to be fine as tiny babies but as their hormones kick in the fight for dominance.
 
They are 14wks old this firday so they kinda are still babys so could I try n put them together on floor for like 5mins n try that few times x
 
They may play together during floor time but they will not happily live together. With guinea pigs one is dominant and the other submissive. If two want to be dominant then there are problems. I really would separate in case they all fall out.
 
We tryed them on floor didnt work so think how to close the ramp off now x
 
Oh dear. I guess they really do not want to be the submissive ones.
 
Not any more rolo is happy to be with either jack or Smudge So for now just need to make sure smudge has some time with rolo x
