I'm going to have to make this quick since it's nearly 5 AM and I have to be up in 3 hours for work.
I just introduced my altered boar Ikarus to my sow Freya and Sigyn. Sigyn is partially blind and honestly could care less who is near her. She's just a crazy kid
Her mom Freya however doesn't seem to know what she wants with Ikarus. Ikarus has been rumble-strutting, as is normal, and has been chasing the girls and attempting to mount. Sigyn isn't phased by any of it, but Freya seems to flip out anytime Ikarus gets near. She does this high, whiny, wheek and tries to get away from him and occasionally will nip at him.
They have a very open floored 2x4 with a 1x2.5 L-shaped top level, and Ikarus and Freya already had a buddy bath and seemed to be doing good.
Should I separate them tonight and retry introductions tomorrow after work? Or should I just leave them all in the cage (that I DID completely clean of scent) and go to bed? I am exhausted, we had them all in neutral territory for an hour before putting them in the cage, I can barely keep my eyes open, and don't know what I should do if I can't keep an eye on them until I'm up.
Any advice, experience, or anything is greatly appreciated. I'm going to get in bed and I will check this post in a few hours.
