boar

So I think this is the term-sperm rods? I was just wondering whether this is a sperm rod or if I'm being daft. I've noticed a few come from my boars boar bits and wondered if they're something else. There not rock solid just kind of rubbery and they're definitely not worms! He is pooing fine and...

Hi I recently did thread on a worry I had regarding Mo's testicles. I've kept my eye on it but now it looks slightly red rather then white. I've read it could just be a scratch from hay or something or perhaps he scratched it but I was just wondering whether I should immediately worry about a...

Hi guys it's me again with another question that if it wasn't piggy related I'd probably be locked up for asking haha. Basically I just cleaned my piggy out like usual- shook his fleece and removed hay and poos. I proceeded to give him his little stroke where he rolls over and reveals his belly...

Hello! I am new to owning guinea pigs. I've had everything under the sun and this is my first time having guinea pigs. Last week I got a male 2 month old guinea pig and named him gus and today I got another 2 month old male guinea pig from the same place and named him Gibby. Now I have been...

Hi everyone :) Beforehand tl;dr : I have a single 1yr old boar, I'm a bit worried that he's depressed, he won't mix with other boars and I am unsure about getting him neutered. General advice? The details: So I have a lone guinea called Oliver, and he's almost a year old now. I'm a student...

So hi guys yet again on the subject of Mo's bowels. Before I share my worries I just want to point out that Mo is eating well,par his hay which he is still eating but not as vigorously and his teeth are pristine. His hair bounces back,he's alert and chews bars for food. No hunched posture though...

Would you say this is a healthy weight gain or should I put them on a "diet"? Wed, 22nd Feb Boar - Gizmo - 5 Months - 903g Female - Pip - 5 Months - 710g Female - Miffy - 2 Months - 371g Wed, 1st March Gizmo - 5 Months - 950g Pip - 5 months - 755g Miffy - 2 months - 391g And does anyone...

(Not sure if this is quite the right thread) Hello, I just met a very sweet piggy at a shelter. I was volunteering with dogs, but this piggy was sitting out on a counter, and he's been at the shelter for multiple months : ( the problem is he's a boar and I have two girls. If I get him I'll house...

Hello everyone, This is my first time posting on this forum so please correct me if I make any mistakes! We have a 5 year old boar named Pebble (PB as a nickname). He now lives alone after we lost our other piggy two years ago. He has always been fit and well, other than once having a UTI...

I've officially owned my boar Mo a year now and he's completely stolen my heart -and my money :lol!: Hopefilly we'll have many more years together and if all goes well then he should very well be having a brother to share those years with very soon!

This is/may be a stupid thread but after already making a thread on poop I don't think I can get any weirder! :lol!: Basically Mo has been climbing my arm recently when I put it in his cage to get his bowl or move his tunnel or pick up stray poos etc. He doesn't *idk* hump it.(stay with me)He...

So I go on holiday next week and obviously I'm excited for a change but the dread of leaving my furbabies behind always dampens my mood! I hate the thought of them falling ill or passing whilst I'm away. A friend feeds my rabbit and covers him for the nights and she's looked after him a couple...

So I've asked before but a picture might be clearer and help others who are still a little confused. I understand the whole size range thing and that a healthy guinea pig poo should be a smooth shape that it is firm enough but not hard and soft enough but not watery. Haha so this isn't really an...

Two posts in two days! I'm just looking for anyone's insight into owning single guinea pigs. I'm not in a situation where I can add another guinea pig to my single boar(I had to seperate my trio due to fights) to make a pair currently. He doesn't seem depressed, he eats well and is interested...

So I was always confused/worried when I saw Mo (my boar) stand still and sort of 'bounce' I suppose. I don't know how to explain what happens and he can walk etc whilst it's happening but it is like little jumps. I went to the almighty google- ha ha- and apparently it's hiccups...which greatly...

Hello everyone, We recently adopted two new boys and have noticed that one of them has developed a lump/cut on his testicles/anal sac area. Other than this we haven't noticed any other problems, as he is still eating, drinking, pooping and running around just fine. Is it normal for them to...

Just hoping someone can shed some light on a piggy mystery I'm experiencing! Since just before Christmas I have been changing the towelling of my 2 boys and noticing red stained urine patches, and a lot of them too! As soon as I noticed it I managed to separate them long enough to work out...

Hi, I was hoping to get some advice or any tips. One of my boars started to lose a lot of weight recently and I took him to the vet straight away. She seems to think its a dental problem but she gave us some food medicine to syringe feed him with and advised us to separate him from his two...

I bought my guinea pigs from what was suppose to be a reputable breeder. I've had a lot of problems with them since having them 4 weeks ago. A lot of them were diet and health related, I have either resolved or they are resolving. My biggest worry and problem right now is a dominance problem...

Yep it's me again I'm afraid my luck seems to be very slim with my new second piggy- seriously beginning to doubt whether I am actually a good piggy mum after all. So I just gave my baby Mo a slice of cucumber and as usual he took a taster small bite. Then he appeared to choke-like coughing it...
