Hi, i couldnt resist this gorgeous beige piggy, about 5 months old, when i saw him in my local pets at home in the adoption section. He was a store pet whose teeth got too long and actually doesnt have a bottom tooth (he was born like this apparently) they said his teeth are fine now and has been regularly checked on by the vet. he is so adorable and i always wanted a all beige piggie. We have named him Fudge.

my dilemia is, we have two piggies aged approx 6 months, Rocky and Scruffy and obviously Fudge is on his own. the people at pets at home said we could try introducing him to the other two but three are prone to fighting, so could maybe get them neutred? (would i have to neture all three?) Or we can try to bond him with another male piggie, but that too could be tricky as they could also fight as havent been rehomed together.....

whats your opinion on what to do for the best?

just wanted to add that i know pets at home has had bad publicity and yes my 2 did get ring worm a week after i bought them from there, but i have to say my local one has always seemed quite good to me. They always have had cleaned out cages everyday, fresh hay, somewhere to hide, crystal clear water bottles, plenty of water, pellets and fresh vegetables. Although i was upset my piggies had ring worm i appreciated that they paid all the vet bills til they got completely better. They are a picture of health now and i am so happy i am a piggie owner they are adorable drool :))

Neutering will not change boars behaviour. Your right that trios of boars rarely work. You could take your fudge to a local rescue where he can meet a few different friends and see which one he likes or you could get him neutered and find him a wifepig. He's gorgeous by the way!
 
thank you for the advice. I hadnt thought about getting him a wife pig, would be nice to have a girlie piggie. definitely a lot to think about. thanks.
 
No problem! Although with neutering you will need to wait 6 weeks after the op before you can find him a wife so he will be on his own for a little longer! :)
