I just wanted to give everyone a little update.

I adopted a one year old Abyssinian boar (Zenigata) about two weeks ago and right away I could tell he was lonely.
Well today I brought home two 3 and a half week baby boars (a beautiful lilac: Ashitaka and a black and white: Hiei) and I was honestly horrified to do introductions because of all of the horror stories I had heard.

I made a large pen on freshly cleaned fleece in the middle of my living room, put a large stack of veggies and hay in the middle and two water bottles. Hubby helped me put our Abyssinian in the pen while I added the babies at the same time.

I hovered, terrified and ready to spring into action in case anyone got crazy.
Hiei and Ash ran right for Zeni and tried to bury themselves under him. Zeni's response? A little rumble strutting. THAT'S IT. No lunging, no chattering, no chasing, no humping, NOTHING. I watched intently for an hour, while they happily munched their veggies and hay. They were so calm that I took 5 minutes to grab my camera so I could start taking pictures.

After another hour of happy pigs, husband and I put them into their brand new 2x5, where they've been snuggling ever since!

The babies are just teeny tiny! Almost like large hamsters! Zeni is actually our smallest boar at around 950 grams

Gosh he really does look huge compared to them! I guess I just assumed cuy (or part cuy) because he has signature cuy colouring and looks like a giant lol Really glad the introductions went well! It's always nice to hear some positive stories on the forum :)

Babies are easy to add to an adult. They are desperate to be with an adult and adult males often are very sweet and take them under their lonely wings-------------puberty brings another set of fun, hopefully they are in a big enough home that they will work things out smoothly. Little boys are often so sweet and desperate after being taken from mom at only three weeks. I think little boys are extra sweet because of this.
