Hi everyone,
My 2 year old (spayed) sow recently lost her partner, and I'm looking for a new pig to keep her company. I've found someone trying to rehome their babies (now about 3 months old, both male and female available). I know opposite sex pairs are the most successful in adult pigs, but does introducing a baby to an adult change the dynamic? I'm a bit concerned about a boar going through puberty in an opposite sex pair; I'm not sure if there would be a greater chance of fighting compared to two females.
Thanks so much!
