Hi! When giving the boys breakfast this morning, I noticed what looked like boar glue on Ben's chin. Is there any way to remove it? And is it his own or is it Tom's... because I really do wonder on how it got on his chin of all places.. :lol:

(I'll reply with pictures when i get to my laptop)
 
Not sure if you can see it well, but its hard and I'm not sure if I should just let it be or try and remove it somehow..

In this case it is best to leave it alone and wait until it comes off on its own

If it’s on other areas of the body then it can sometimes be possible to cut the hair out.

It could be either one of theirs.
They can get it on their own chin by putting his own mouth to his penis
 
Hi! This morning when I was feeding the boys I noticed the boar glue was gone, but so was the fur under it. I'm really worried about him now, is he okay? He's still acting like himself but I can imagine that must've hurt a lot.. Can I do anything for him?

As long as the skin isn’t broken then he will be absolutely fine. You don’t need to do anything.

If you notice is getting sore, irritated or bleeding then you can check with the vet at that point
