The Truth About Multiple Pigs: Introducing a New Pig Without Losing Your Mind

Thinking about adding another pig to your family? Or are your pigs suddenly fighting after years of living together peacefully? In this episode, Autumn breaks down the fascinating social dynamics of multi-pig households and explains why conflict between pigs is often completely normal.            Learn why pigs don't instantly become friends, how hierarchy shapes their behavior, and why food competition can become a serious problem if it's not managed correctly. Autumn shares practical tips for introducing a new pig safely, including slow introductions, scent swapping, supervised interactions, and setting up your environment to help pigs succeed.           She also explains why pigs that have lived together for years may suddenly begin fighting, what role fear and scent changes can play after veterinary visits or hoof trims, and how to help rebuild their relationship without making the situation worse.          Whether you're introducing a rescue pig, managing an established herd, or simply trying to better understand pig behavior, this episode will help you set realistic expectations and create a safer, more peaceful home for everyone.           Remember, success doesn't always mean your pigs become inseparable best friends. Sometimes peaceful coexistence is the greatest victory of all.
