boar behaviour

Hi I'm kinda new here and was hoping some advise on my boars as I have looked at some other posts but thought it was best posting something about my own boys :) In early June, our single adopted male of 9 passed away and we ended up taking in 3 young boars (roughly 12 weeks at that point) I was...

Hello! I’ve been trying to bond a 8 month old and a year old piggy. Both males. My year old piggy picked out his partner at the rescue and have been living side by side for about 2 months. We’ve been doing swaps with them in the cages and having veggie time outside of the cage with no issues...

For several months now I've had a peaceful trio of boars. The youngest of them is three and they were all well out of hormonal phases when I got the third (Nussi) - the two first are father (Angel) and son (Storm). It's been going great up until now - no fights, barely any dominance behaviours -...

Hello there, Barely even a day after losing his girlfriend really unexpectedly, my little boar Cinnamon (not 100% on his age, between 4 and 6 I think) is looking really sad and scared. I'm desperately looking around for another sow but really struggling. He's completely changed personality...

Don't get me wrong on the title, there's times he's happy, showing love(rarely), wheeking loudly and being a good piggy. ever since he became an adult, (he's 2 years old now) he's just been mean, mean and mean. He gets irritated at the littlest things, a little pet on the head and he's about...

Following my initial thread, which can be found here... I have now reached a stage where bonding is finally going to happen soon. First the boar had to be 6 months before neutering could be done, then I was told by the vet that he had to be at least 1kg, because otherwise there could be...

Hi! This might be a little long but I'm worried about my boars :( So I have two boars, a black one around 2.5 years old (Loki) and a long haired white one (Thor) around 1.5 years old. They've been bonded together for a little less than year and a half now, living together with minor squabbles...

Just to start, the boar I just adopted is Pumba (4 year old cuy mix) and my boar that needed a partner is Pete (3 1/2 shorthair). They are in a 30 sq ft enclosure with two large two-way hides and two pellet bowls (since they got territorial over them). I put Pumba and Pete into their enclosure...

Hello, I have a 10 month male guinea pig (Pepper) and we have followed advice to bond him to a younger male, Noodle (4 months). The initial meetings went well and they moved in to their C&C cage together a few days ago. Since there Pepper has been constantly chasing and rumble strutting after...

I feel quite worried at the moment, and I always see very nice posts on this site with very useful information! but I didn’t really see anything helpful to my situation so I thought why not try this 🥺 One of the boars had to go away about a week after getting him. He was already introduced...

Hey guys, in my last two threads I talked about how my guinea pig Hobbes has passed away. Calvin Was Hobbes cage mate and he was the dominant male while Hobbes was more of a chilled guy. I recently found somebody who can no longer care for their 7 month old guinea pig and I offered to take him...

I have a 3 year old boar (Dale) who's suddenly developed a bit of a whiff. A few weeks ago his cagemate from birth (Chip) died, and he was devestated. I had to syringe feed him critical care to get him to eat (which admittedly gave him cowpat stools), as he refused to eat by himself. He wasn't...

So, my two boys are incredibly typical boars, they’re housed together and get along swimmingly with the usual rumbles and dominance reasserting about 90% of the time. However, it seems about once every few months, my smaller boy Apollo will get into a “mood” where he endlessly chases his brother...

My guinea pig (nibbles) is a boy who will not stop attacking my other piggies hes around 2 years old and keeps biting his farther and my other male and actually rips out fur or makes them bleed. They got along one time but he was younger. Now whenever they are together he will chase them, bite...
