Hi p
Ok, so I keep sows... but i was looking at our local free-add mallethead.. and for the past week they had a gorgeous chocolate semi long haired male piggy for sale..that i love x) i think he was like £5-£10? and i thought nothing much of it, just another person trying to sell a piggy for money...so i shrugged it off then a week later i noticed "free" on the title.. i was like Oh no! he's now free... But. he comes alone.. now would it be hard for him to get a friend at 7months old... (oh forgot to mention he would NOT be housed with my sows.. i have a seperate hutch) lol someone told me me that boars are harder to get friends for when they are older as they fight? which is why ive always kept sows and i found i can mix them easier (any age) and if you want a male you have to get them as a pair if they are litter mates.. is this true?! 8
I'm still thinking about this... Oh and if you house a male that is near females... this kinda torture for them as they can smell females?
