I'm looking for some advise please.
Which are the easiest to manage males or females?
My mum has decided to get a pair of piggies. After falling in love with my two boys she has decided to rescue a pair.

My boys are a the stage of scuffling now and again. Think the youngest is going through his teenage years. So we kind of know what to expect with boys but we have no idea about females.
I have found lots on boars and behaviour but not females. We understand there will be things to deal with, with both sexes but just wondered if females were more managable than males or are they worse?
 
Well I started off with females and had no problems with them, apart from the fact they didn't have a big enough cage. Thereafter i didn't really want boys because of the boar glue and stuff, but actually I haven't found it a problem. I do love girls and boys in equal measure.

If it's a case of first time owner, then probably girls are the better option.
