Any way to tell how old my piggy is?

[Green_Beans]

Hello,

I have a boar that I adopted from the humane society (SPCA). However, he was just dropped off at the door one day so no one could tell me how old he was. He is a big boy at about 1500 grams. And in terms of "cuteness" he is a rather "bland" looking piggy but he's perfect to me.

The little fella was in a cage in the corner of a room that housed birds and cats. I went to drop off a donation of dog and cat food and ended up with a guinea pig. He's been alone his entire life as far as anyone knew so I'm not so sure that he wants a friend. He's really lovable though and wheeks like crazy in the morning for his veggies.

I would like to know how old the little guy is. I thought about taking him to the vet to ask but I haven't found one yet that specialized in piggies.

Thank you for your help

What are his nails like? how long are his lower incisors?

At that weight, he is most likely and adult pig. As PP said nails are a good indicator. If the front nails are still small points then around one or under (ish). Teeth too? xx
