if elvis is a male, id go for the youngest boar you can find..they may fight if you get one of the same age..www.barmy4boars.co.uk should help you out a lot

Yes, I agree with spudnik. The younger the guinea pig, the better chance there is of them not fighting.

Hi there, it will be great if you do get a brother for Elvis. Take a look on the Barmyforboars site as mentioned by Spudnik it has great advice.

I think it depends on your Elvis' personality as to if he will get on with another adult boar or not.

I am currently looking to get a new pal for our Murran as he has been alone now since April. I am taking him along to a rescue so we can see if he gets on with an adult boar. It looks very promising but the boar he was getting on with had a little cut on his mouth so they won't let him go until that has healed.

If you go for a baby it is best to get a really young one about 6 weeks old so they have time to become good firends before the baby reaches teens at about 12 weeks old as this is when fights can start.

if I'm getting a new piggy I'm getting him from a shelter
