Bonding Putting Together 3 Single Boars?

[Kermit_Koeller]

What is the best way to go about putting 3 single boars together? Do I put them all together? Or do I do it slowly...put two together then add the 3rd later?

Thanks!

Do you plan to get a forth? All three are single none bonded boars?

I'd do it all at once if you want them all to live together. Otherwise, adding the third may well undo all the bonding you've done up until then, and you'll be back at square one.

You can put all together at the same time. If you add the 3rd later, they'll have to go through the dominance thing again.

Make sure none of them have been in the area you will put them in together, and the area is large enough. Also don't put any items that have any of their scent on it. Lots of food will help distract them too.

If they get along, no bloodshed, move them into a cleaned cage (remove all their scent). Don't separate them. If you separate them after introduction, and put them back together, they will have to go through dominance again.

they are all single unbounded boars and no im not getting a 4th. I know all of that stuff about neutral areas, don't separate unless there's blood, etc. I figured I should put them all together at once I just wasn't sure! thanks guys! wish me luck!

Good Luck. Did you get two new ones to go with your surviving piggy?
