Re: Boar puberty?

With males, I find it is extremely important that they don't have to share anything and that the cage is very large.

I have 5 boars, 3 living in one cage and 2 in another. They were all but one adopted as adults. I have two that are very dominant and will not be able to be housed together, but all the others get along fine.

If you have a C&C cage try to expand to one more grid width if space is the problem. You can either make it wider or longer, whichever is best for your space. Or you could always try to make another level. If the problem is them sharing, then obviously add more hay racks, water bottles, food bowls or veggies piles.

The running and chasing each other though is completely normal and will probably always go on. The teeth chattering will soon reside once the power struggle is over.
