Hi everyone,
Just wondered if I could ask anyone for a little advice please. I'm having Jake and Treacle neutered on Monday and then after a few weeks will pair them up with the girls. I just wanted to know if I'm ok to put the girls straight in with each boy. They have spent a lot of time in their indoor pens placed right next to each other and Jake particularly has been going mad to get at the girls. When they first get together and "do it" will the boys hurt the girls as they are quite a lot bigger than them.
Also, I wondered about letting Scruffy have just one litter before Jake is done. I wouldn't sell the babies, I'd keep at least 2 - 4. I thought they'd be more company for everyone. But I don't want to do this if its unethical or bad for the piggies. I've just bought 2 new 4 foot double storey hutches so I have 3 empty hutches if the babies and mum need to be seperate. I have 3 good responsible friends wanting to give the babies homes in pairs if I get that many! Would it be wrong to do this? I just thought the experience would be nice for me but not sure if it would be for the piggies. Please don't think badly of me for considering it cos if its wrong I definately won't do it xx
