[Gpdd] Behavior: Marmite

[Dukejan1 at aol.com]

I'm wondering if Marmite's aggressiveness isn't caused by the differences  in 
ages.  Isabel and Lily (over 5 yrs old) still haven't accepted Luke  (nearly 
1 yr old), so Marmite and the other two piggies are pretty near those  same 
ages.  
 
My girls won't talk to Luke and barely look at him while he scream and  yells 
his little lungs out.  None of the piggies are neutered, so I'm  keeping the 
sows separate.  Even if I did neuter him, I'm not sure he'd be  accepted.  It 
just seems cruel to him to keep him very near the girls, so I  keep him across 
the room to keep stress levels down but allow him to have  some piggie 
communication.  Floortime is done on separate floors, as  Luke has demonstrated some 
escape artistry.  Any thoughts?
