New Born Pup
Hello, fellow piggie worshippers, I'm super excited to be joining this forum! I am a proud guinea pig parent of 3 beautiful girls. I was curious if someone could help me out on deciding whether or not it's a good idea to add a boar to the group.
Their names are Flower (medium-sized Abyssinian around 4 years old, most dominant)
Lulu (my thicc gurl, big crested short hair guinea pig around 3 years old, also quite dominant but would honestly rather eat)
Ruby (small Abyssinian around 3 years old, very shy with the other girls and the most obedient)
For a while, they've been having quite a lot of tiffs with each other, and there seem to be some dominance issues (definitely some tyrannical ruling on Flowers's part). So I've been considering adding an older or larger male to the group to add some order and to make the place calmer for them. Along with this (regardless of whether or not I get another pig), I will be upgrading their cage to a 2x6 c&c cage to give them more room to run. So my question is, would you recommend adding a boar to the mix? Also, how would I go about finding the right piggie, should I bring them with me to rescues to try out introductions to see if they click? I'm happy to give more information if needed
Thank you so much!
