Hi all,
I have posted before about my 2 boars who had to be separated shortly after we adopted them because they stopped getting on (blood was drawn). They have been side by side ever since and interact through the bars, and while Eugene seems truly happy on his own and only really pays attention to Eddie by chattering at him, we really would like to get Eddie a friend. I reached out to a rescue a while ago who do bonding, and they said that if we were to get Eddie a friend, Eugene would have to be moved away from him otherwise he could threaten the new bond. Is this really the case? Aside from the fact that we dont really have the space to move eugene anywhere else, I would hate for him to be completely seperate from other pigs and he would end up going over to them anyway when he is roaming around our front room. Could it ever work to have a bonded pair next to a single? Thank you
