I'm not sure. I do know that one of the players on the server I play on created a base and tamed boars and then abandoned the game. I would occasionally stop at that base to recover my rested bonus but the rule for people on the server was not to mess with someone else's base. After a couple of weeks of play when I stopped by there to rest all the boars were dead, there was no damage to the base, just sparkles coming up from boar meat and leather scrap piles.If you neglect your boars they can die of starvation.
After how long? I ask because we have some boars that have been neglected for about 500 days that are still alive (I know because I'm the only one that's been on for that time and never fed them).
I have tamed boars and bees right next to each other in one early base and they have never aggroed on each other. (If an untamed boar damages a bee hive the bees will aggro just like the bees do if you accidentally left click on the hive instead of pressing "E"). I bet there is still something weird going on there. I also have tamed boars and tamed wolves in the same pen and they don't aggro on each other. The wolves will aggro on non-tamed boars but they won't damage their enclosure to get to them. I ran an experiment. I brought in another (untamed) boar and led it to the bee hives. I had a set of stone stairs but have taken them down since. The boar aggro the bees even in the rain where they are not flying around and eventually killed the boar. The one bee hive was damaged in the process. Although this all happened when I was not online or when I ran in and just headed inside and didn't notice for it was late and went offline.. but I think now Frank aggro the bees (even if he was tamed) and probably ran down to the pen area, bringing them there before back and killed. The bees then went after the other boars, if that is possible.. but they were all dead inside the pen up the end closest (at a distance) to the bee hives. The bees also attacked my character but did little to no damage, they mainly went after the boar.
I've thank everyone who gave input for this mystery.
