SkittlesandFluffles
New Born Pup
Hi, my situation is abit tricky, I haven't been able to find Info on this anywhere.
Today, after a year of owning my two pigs I've noticed that my sow is actually a boar. I've had this verified by someone more experienced than me, but i find it strange that they haven't mated by now. I'm pretty sure they haven't been fixed either.
My sow, skittles, is a little older and has always been the dominant one, fluffles was a little baby so skittles always dominated him. Even now fluffles is alot larger, he is still submissive and its not been often that I've seen him do any mating dances. Skittles on the other hand does this daily, she will chase him around, mount and hump him and stick her face in his bum lol. I've only recently noticed fluffles try and nibble Skittle's ear but never seems to be that aggressive.
So after a year, you'd think they'd of made babies by now right? Nope, no babies. Although this is a good thing bc i really don't need that lol but what would be the reason for this? I've heard guinea pigs can mate and have babies quite quickly.
Also I'm pretty certain skittles isn't pregnant right now and never has been.
Fluffles is possibly slightly over weight, could that be a factor?
Any advice would be great, thankyou!
