taking in a sow with two established boars

Question
Hello

we've had 2 rescued litter brothers, approx 18 months old for the last six months.  They're kept indoors, in separate cages (they fight!!)and are very happy.  We've been asked to take in a sow who us indoor-kept, too.   How easy will it be to keep a sow in the same room as two boars?
Many thanks  

Answer
Hello Helen,

All of my boars and sows live in the same room and I've never had any trouble even with the males who share cages. If your males shared a cage, it's possible it could cause bickering, but since they are in separate cages, there shouldn't be a problem.
