Does anyone have both non-neutered male and female pigs that they let play together under close supervision?

You have to bear in mind that anyone can call themselves a rescue without having knowledge of guinea pigs and their exact needs.

Feeding isn’t particularly expensive. What can be is very care - more so in US. So that would be something serious to consider when you’re getting them paired up.
Okay great. And they would only have to cover the vet bills for a few years at most so I could tell them that!

And that is interesting about the rescue thing. Wish that all rescues would be held to a certain code.
 
I have 2 piggies male and female both same father different mother. They are 3 months old now, they lived together first 2 months, I noticed he was starting to "get with her" I moved her into a new cage, they live side by side, happy. I give them both play time outside of cage each day, but I wouldn't let them together unsupervised, with 2 people holding each they can interact, and they tend to kiss between the bars.

This is an old thread and so you would have been better off starting your own.

Were they together until you took them on, or did you house them together for two months before separating? Be aware that your sow may be pregnant so treat her as such until you know otherwise. Have a read of the guides below, paying particular attention to the feeding guide. When were they last housed together?

You shouldn’t let them together at all, even if supervised. It takes a mere second to get the job done (so to speak). If you put an intact boar with a sow then you will be seen as intentionally breeding. That is not something we support on this forum.
