View attachment 27489 View attachment 27486 Poor Alby has boar glue all over his back end. I have no idea how to remove it. It's solid.Just about Stuck right onto his skin. I came home from work and they were bickering that turned really nasty with really loud teeth chattering on both sides and Alby literally hiding in his hay tray scared to move. They are now living separately. However keep chewing at the bars to get to each other.
I give up. Don't know what to do for the best. Fudge literally humps morning noon and night. And it's not fair on Alby to be constantly covered in Boar glue. Would neutering Fudge help (ie would there be no Boar glue?)
aww poor Ena. Alby would have sympathy it's horrible stuff. One of my cage liners has it on it too.Oh dearMy neutered boar Enoch once left a spectacular amount of boar glue on my rainbow piggy Ena's long fur and I had to cut it out. He has also destroyed some of my crash pads with his 'glue' BOARS!
aww poor Ena. Alby would have sympathy it's horrible stuff. One of my cage liners has it on it too.Naughty boys.
thanks.
unfortunately there aren't any rescues that offer boar dating near me. I have already ha to separate them previously as they were doing the same again. And it ended up in a fight. Yes Fudge is very very hormonal all the time.With regards to the boar glue being stuck, I don't personally know of a way to get it out, I personally leave it until the hair has grown away from the body a bit then snip it out with scissors.
It sounds like Fudge is extremely hormonal, however neutering rarely makes any difference in guinea pigs and can be a bit risky if you vet is not cavy savvy. How old are they at the moment?
There are several options, you could try them living side by side for a while then see about reintroducing them.
Long term, you can either continue them living side by side if they decide they can't live together or if you have the space for more pigs, possibly get each boy a new friend through boar dating at a local rescue.
