Boars Living Together
Hi,
Just thought I would throw in my experiences with boars living together.
As of right now I have 6 boars.
I have 3 in one cage:
Scooter was almost 3 yrs old when 2 baby boys(4 weeks)Peanut and Lucky that I had hand raised where put in with him full time.Before that Scooter would visit their cage.He taught them how to eat the pellets,veggies ,hay and taught them what the water bottle did.Right now Scooter is 3 and a half and my babies are now just over 6 months old,all are living in harmony.Even with 9 girls in the room.
The other three,Sonny,Pilgrim and Gizmo are in a cage together.This is due to Sonny was over a yr(we think)when we got a call that he was found in a dumpster.So he and Scooter got along for 3 weeks then they both decided they both wanted to be head pig,started fighting so we split them.We put Sonny in his own cage.But Pilgrim was introduce when he was only 8 weeks and Gizmo was 4 weeks when he was introduce to them.All get along famously.NO fighting what so ever between my boys.
I love my boys and wouldn't give them up for the world.

Pinta, I can't change this page without rewriting everything or making all the pics into links. If you go to the bottom of the top post, Charybdis added a link to a page that should be readable with the text and pics from subsequent posts she put up.
This is the link:

Does it work for you?

Lynx, the link worked for me on Netscape. If you like, I can re-write it with the pics as links. Let me know.
Angie, how about some pics of those boars for my website? You could send them to my email address :)

The link worked fine but the pics are still overlapping the 31 Dec 2002 12:29 post which I assume is separate from the post above.
----------
Why not ditch the pics from the thread entirely and stick to the link or post the pics one at a time(I think that works).
All I see is slices of overlapping pics covering type. Don't even see a full pic except for the first one.

Oh, I see that you already did it. Thank you. I am sorry to cause trouble! Somewhere in my puny brain I thought it would be easier if people could just see the pics. I don't use Netscape, so it had never occured to me before. How annoying.
I would really like to get more boar stories, especially multiple boar/sow households--so people can email me at Charybdis444@aol.com if they have something to say on the matter.
