[Gpdd] BEHAVIOR: Baby Boar /Big Boar Introduction

Hi everyone,
 
Little Horatio is now about six wheeks old, and I'm wondering what the best age is for me to try introducing him to Virgil, who is the calmest of my two adult boars.  I've never done a boar to boar introduction before.   
 
Horatio is tiny but very very fast: I hate to take a chance on him being hurt, but it seems as if it might be a good idea to try putting them together while he is still small enough that Virgil doesn't see him as any sort of threat.  Also, Virgie is a calm and thoughtful piggie --- is he going to be annoyed at Horatio richocheting around the cage like a pinball?   So far, Horatio has only two speeds --- greased-lightning or full-stop.
 
Any and all tips most gratefully received ---
