Hi all! We had the opportunity to bring home another buddy for our loner boar. Both are teenage boars (I know, not the ideal time to bond) Following the bonding/intro forum on this blog, I'd say the intros went pretty well. They spent about 4 hours in their intro area before being moved back to a 'neutralized' cage. They've been together in the cage going on Day 2 now. The dominant pig (Fabio) likes to sniff the other's (Georgie) bottom and then chase him around the cage (like a quick burst, like a lap around the cage) and then stop for a few minutes. Right at this moment, they are eating hay next to each other, but Georgie makes a move and Fabio has to sniff and chase. This happens every 5 minutes or so. There is no chattering or humping, only a little bit of rumbling from Georgie when he's chased.
We've got 14 sq feet of CC cage, two hideys with multiple exits, two water bottles/food dishes. Georgie seems to be able to eat and drink water when he wants but will occasionally be bum-sniffed by Fabio and he will run off. Now I need some reassurance or advice...is all of this normal on day 2? Will things settle down or turn for the worse?
