young boar

Hi everyone, i have not been writing to the forum for a long time. I have two guinea pigs, one named Cola and i recently got another boy named Burger (he is 3-4 weeks old, adopted) because Cola was alone. He was fine when he got home, didnt notice anything. but 5 days ago i noticed a pink-red...

Hi everyone, On sunday we noticed both of our boys had soft poops, with Moose (1 year old) being hit harder by it. We took them off veggies and started giving critical care, but the next day Moose was a lot worse, and had stopped eating and pooping. He's now been to the vets a few times, and...

Hi hi :) This is a hypothetical just because I’m curious and wanna learn more. Say you’ve got a senior sow who’s recently been bereaved, her former mate was another sow. Would it be out of the question to try bonding her with a younger boar? I know dominant piggies (most often) have one or...

We had adopted 1 year old Owlie from a shelter 4 days after Nibbler was showing signs of depression after having lost his longtime brother, Yancy. We weren’t sure if Owlie was going to be a good fit as we went against the grain in terms of not matching Nibbler with a similar age or sized...

I’m a New Guinea pig owner and started out with just one I rescued. I’ve had him for a little over a year. A couple weeks ago I brought home another from the same situation. They had separate cages but after doing research I have worked them up to being in the same cage. Both boys. So I guess...

Hi! I'm new to the forum and I have an 8 week old guinea pig named Squid. He had a rough entry into my life as I got him and his brother, Triscuit, from Petco only to have Triscuit cough up blood and die 4 days later. Needless to say Squid was rushed to the vet soon after and was treated for a...

Hi! I am a New Guinea pig owner so forgive me if I seem a bit clueless! I got two boars back in December, two siblings who just turned 3 months old. They do quite a bit of rumble-strutting, which I understand is a boundary setting/dominance display. They've never reared/lunged/nipped/hissed or...

I have a male guinea pig I got from petsmart, I do NOT support buying over adopting, however he was clearly sick and very badly beaten by the other guinea pigs. When we got him he seemed to get a bit better, only minor symptoms of his URI. So we waited a bit before getting him into a vet for...

So I have 2 adorable boars and have had them for a little over a month now. I got them from petsmart so I don't know their true age but I think they are only a few months old based on their weight and popcorning often. Yesterday they nipped at one another for a minute then stopped and continued...

Hey, We bought 2 young (7-8 weeks) male pigs 2 days ago and we’ve noticed the more confident one is shaking/shivering and breathing quite rapidly (only noticeable from his sides), additionally he’s sneezing/coughing every now and then. We’re unsure what to do next as we don’t want to unsettle...

So I have a New Guinea pig his name is Chorizo I’ve had him for about a week now, he lets me pet him and hand feed him, but really doesn’t let me pick him up. I want to get him a new friend but I’m not sure what age should I get the other piggie, Chorizo is about 2 months, so should I get...

I just adopted 2 Male guinea pigs from the same litter about a week ago, dont know exsact age but around 2 months. One is a fair amout smaller then the other, pretty sure he was is the runt. He is eating, drinking, looks and seems healthy. Is there any special care runts need?

Hello! I adopted Charlie in February and he’s now a nearly fully grown boar. Knowing he needed a friend, about a month ago I adopted Wilber, a 3 month old boar. After a three week quarantine, they met in a huge room. I had a blanket, hay, vegetables, and all the necessary items. At this point...
