I recently welcomed two beautiful baby piggies, one boy and one girl. While in theory it works great (a companion for both my male and my female!), I'm worried about abruptly moving the little boy. Today I had the two meet in a neutral location. My Tungsten (older male) has been an only child for quite awhile and enjoys his freedom of floor time. The baby boy Polo is only three weeks old. Tungsten is not and has never been aggressive. For quite awhile during intro, Tung continually circled Polo and was rumblestrutting, often mounting and subduing the baby. I know this is important for establishing hierarchy, but he is still chasing Polo around once and awhile to rumble and mount. I thought for awhile it was due to the fact that the baby smells like his mother (whom Tung visits through the bars), but I just need some reassurance or tips that I'm doing the right thing here!
Also considering the psyche of Polo, having been moved with no warning, and mom and sister seem anxious that he's gone.
Any suggestions and tips are appreciated!!
