boars

Hii guys, I recently adopted a new piggy for my remaining one after my older one passed, and wanna upgrade their cage to a C&C one. They currently have a ferplast one but i let them free roam as much as possible as i think the ferplast isn't big enough for one, let alone two. They're both boars...

Hi! I'm hoping to get some insight into how things are actually going with two adolescent boar skinny pigs! We started with a 6 month old boar named Baldwin who, after some time in his new home, really flourished. But it became very clear that he needed a friend to love with! After searching for...

Hey all, I have 3 boars who have all been separated at one point or another because of compatibility. I got a new cage and paired two of them together- there has been basic behavior of them trying to establish who is boss, I’ve had guineas for years so I wasn’t super concerned. They’re the same...

Hey there, as some of you may know, 3 of my sows are having babies soon (oops) and I wasjut wondering if multiple boars could live with multiple sows? I've seen some people beingablr to put multiple boars with sows and the bosrs became best friends. Is the chsnce just really low?

I posted a couple of days ago about two of my boys Ollie and Bobby who were bonded and living happily together suddenly fighting and how I was separating them at night and when I was away out of fear of them hurting eachother when I wasn’t there (which I realise now wasn’t the best thing to do.)...

Sorry in advance for the long post! I posted here a few months ago about how my boy Rico passed away suddenly and I panicked and adopted 2 boys for his friend Kip. It literally happened on the same day because I was so distraught about Kip being lonely for any amount of time at all and just...

Hi I have 2 male Guinea pigs. Both around 10 months old. One of them does these odd shaped poops. He does normal shaped poops as well and they are normal consistency. I just don’t know if this is anything to worry about. I have had a pair of Guinea pigs before them that lived for around 6 years...

Hi, so I have two boars Bill (approx 8months) and Bean (approx 2months). I have started the boing process and was wondering if you can help me figure out the behaviours I'm seeing and if things are going smoothly. I've noticed: Some rumble strutting form Bill Some happy squeaks from both Both...

It seems our boar issues are never-ending. After the passing of one of our boys a year ago, we sent our remaining boy (prawn) to go dating at a local rescue centre. He came away paired with a lovely big boss boy (goose). They’ve been together 4 months now and until recently got on fine. Goose...

I adopted a lone boar about 3 - 4 weeks ago since my parents told me to get one guinea pig first. I am planning to adopt a second boar next week which is about 1.5 months old while mine is 3 months old. I am planning to put them in a 2x6 C&C cage. Do I need to quarantine the other boar or should...

Hi Everyone, I would really appreciate some help on what to do with my 2 boars. So I’m used to them displaying dominance behaviours, we do have one boar who is particularly territorial and bossy. HOWEVER I feel like it’s now become more of a bullying issue. I’ve noticed our dominant piggie...

Hi everyone! I know I’ve asked about this before, but I am really struggling here. How do those who own boars here do boar cleanings? I know HOW to do a general boar cleaning, but it just doesn’t work with my pigs. I’ve seen many people hold their boar on his hind legs/back, but every time I try...

Hello all! My husband and I have two boars who are approximately a year and a half to 2 years old.. they initially seemed bonded well.. we had to put them in a smaller enclosure than we wanted (probably too small) about 6 months after we got them because of some temporary changes in sleeping...

hi everyone, unfortunately my beloved hugo crossed the rainbow bridge about 6 weeks ago. it was very sudden and unexpected and he left behind his brother milo. milo coped surprisingly well with his death. i discovered hugo dead in the cage in the early hours of the morning and i suspect milo...

Hello, I don't usually do this kind of thing but I just feel so worried, I could use some advice! I got my two new piggies, Alfred (2yo) and Samuel (10 weeks) about a week and a half ago from a rescue. I did so much research and preparation beforehand yet I still feel so worried about my new...

HELP! I have 2 boars (approx 1-2 years old) bonded since babies who have recently started fighting. I've had them four 4.5 months. At first I thought it was just some dominance assertion but it's starting to make me really nervous. Percy has started instigating and harassing Winston (the...

Hi all. I have two 10 month old boys (brothers) who were bonded. One of them is a complete Buddha pig and the other rumbles a lot but never aggressive. I’ve put two baby boars in with them and they are all getting along great. The babies are brothers from an oops litter - 5 weeks old now. My...

Hi everyone. A few weeks ago, one of our little boys passed away from a URI leaving his best buddy Nibbler (age: 5.5 y/o). We were afraid Nibbler would become lonely considering him and Yancy had been together since they were very young. 3 days after Yancy’s passing, we adopted Owlie (2 y/o)...

Just a little rant, telling on my piggies Me: I'm feeling down, maybe I should go sit next to my squeakies to recharge Bomi and Yumi: feel free to let U S pet Y O U but you can't pet us back! Just sit still like a statue or playground and let us rub our furs on you, do parkour jumps on you...

Hello everyone, I have written about my piggies when I introduced myself but here's a summary: I adopted Geezer (9 weeks) and Tony (4 years) in november 2020. Their introduction was extremely easy and they got along like a charm until Tony's passing around Easter due to a very aggressive...
