Just wanted to give an update on my boar situation!!

Well, I picked up Tanner and Cal from the Summit County Animal Shelter in Frisco, CO. They've been in quarantine there for about 3 months, so they were safe to introduce. They have been at the shelter for about 3 months and the team there was so happy that they were adopted out together. They have been together forever and lots of inquiries were made to take one, but they really wanted them to go together.

I noticed something strange though; when I got them home (after an 1.5 hour car ride!) I gave them a thorough inspection. The previous owner who gave them up to the shelter said that they had them for 2 years, but I looked at their nails when I was inspecting them and they have tiny baby nails. They are sharp and pointy, almost like they have never been cut.

Why would someone lie about how long they had them?? What is the point in that? What would there be to gain out of such a silly lie?

Things are a little rough going! My Gus is by far the BIGGEST pig out of the three, but one of the new guys, Cal, is really challenging him. There is LOTS of mounting and teeth chattering coming from Cal. Gus is just sort of putting up with it and not fighting back too much. Tanner, the other new guy seems so scared of what's going on. I have them in a giant pen on my kitchen floor and its about 3 feet tall, but Tanner has jumped straight up in the air a couple times like he is trying to get out. He makes a whining/crying sound. The other two have just left him alone. They must not see him as much of a threat.

They have been together for an hour now and things will quiet down for a minute or two than Cal and Gus start right back up. Should I go for the buddy bath?? What do you think?
