I have had a male come to us today and have been told he is neutered, but how do you know, is there a way to tell from appearance?
 
He should be a lot lighter down below than another male that isn't. I have had 3 boys castrated and when the testicles are removed they look awfully small down there - but I have the benefit of seeing them before and after.

Can you post a photo to get some opinions?
 
i know with zack who isnt done you can see and feel his testies,where has todd who is done and ralphie who is they look very small and shriveled up down thererolleyes:)) compared to a boar that hasn't been done.x
 
Definately looks like he is a "whole" male, seems silly asking looking at the pics. I only took him because I could have put with a pair of sows as I am full. I will find a cage for him I'm sure. Here are the pics anyway:

He looks much the same as my adult male, who isn't neutered.
 
Definitely looks like an intact male to me. I have lots of neutered boars here and they all have very little shrivelled bits, nothing like that.
 
He is defo not neutered. You are dead right.

What a deceptive thing to do!
 
It is a good job you did your research and did't put him with any sows. How can someone lie like that and do that to you :(

He is a very cute boy though xx
 
I agree, he looks very much intact.

Can't believe she didn't think you wouldn't find out! Awful. Thank goodness you checked.
 
Phew...bet you're glad you checked!

He does look like a gorgeous pig though....(looking at his face now!) :)
 
defo not done:(grrrr:(
someone emailed me a few weeks ago asking for a female to put with there boar i asked if her male was done and they said i think so he was given to us this person said we will take him to the vets first to see then come and have a look at your sows..

I said email me a picture and i will tell you if he is neutered as i have 2 boars myself that are done so its very easiey to tell the diff,i wasnt at all suprised when i never had an email back..breeder....
 
I am very glad I checked ((PHEW)).

I have a neutered boar and went to check on his "bits" or lack of lol. I can't believe it! The new guy is called Cartman and is gorgeous though and is a proper Teddy boar. He will need a friend though so I hope I can pair him up and rehome him. Will post pics of him soon, of the proper end anyway lol

:)) Looking forward to seeing a pic of him head first. :))
 
People will tell you they are neutered because they think you may not take them in otherwise. Glad you checked. Seems you have lots of babies there already Suzanne. xx
 
And believe it or not, some people don't know what neutering is, so might say they think he is neutered!
