So last Friday I introduced my neutered boar and two sows together. After lots of rumblestrutting and chasing I put them all together in the freshly cleaned cage with all new fleece/tunnels and hideys. I have heard some noise and them chasing each other but all seemed well so I left them alone.
I have been sick so haven't been excessive handling. Last night I cleaned their cage and did a quick health check. I feel so bad because I found signs of fighting I hadn't seen before.
Loki- Pinky size hole in top of ear, bit straight through; lost 60 grams weight
Little Bear- chunk of fur pulled out from her back
Luna- unscathed
Are they still good to be left together? I know the rule is leave them together if there is no blood, just the ear bite concerns me. As of now they are calm together and only occasional rumblestrutting.
Cage is 2x9 cxc cage, with 2x2 hay pile. All hideouts are tunnels, forests, or cozies with two openings.
Thank you!
