Re: I think the time has come

I contacted Janet to hopefully put my mind at ease, and she did. She said she keeps all her boys and girls in the same room and side by side and has rarely ever had a problem. She said the boys are very bonded and may even enjoy "seeing" their neighbors and than if they were to start fighting I could put the coroplast up as a partition so they could not see into the other cage.

I know I had Oreo and Boris where they could see one another and they never fought through the grids. I had tried to introduce the boys on neutrel territory before and they did fight, but with the grids seperating them they were ok with that and just carried on life never bothering one another.

So Sunday it is, early in the morning we will head out to be there around 1:00 and we should be home by dinner. I am not looking forward to the driving I will keep you posted and I can not wait to hold my boys and bring them home

Re: I think the time has come

I had Maverick and Simon next to each other with girls and they only rumbled, nothing more.

Good luck Weaver. Drive safe.

Re: I think the time has come

Yeah for you and the boys! Sounds like a good plan. I hope you're feeling more positive now. I know it's a scary step but you'll be ok. And just think how lucky those boys are going to be when they get to come home to a great mommy and new siblings. Pictures! We'll want pictures as soon as possible. Drive safely!!

Now I am worried, I thought I had read that somewhere that males sometimes cannot be in the same room with females when housed seperate and someone else corrected me said that was not true.
It happens but not as often as most people think. I used to have boars and sows in a divided cage and there never was any fighting. I think a lot of it has to do with the pigs too. Just make sure the boys can't climb over the grids to get to the girls. You don't have to put up a full coroplast wall, but maybe build a semi-lid on the boys side where the cages meet.
