To get more piggies! I really have the bug.. I so want some females but it would probably be a really stupid thing to do considering max and paddy are in the early days of bonding but I just REALLY really really really want some sweet little sows!

Gosh its like being broody for a baby almost (I have 2 kids.. am done with all that but it feels so similar)

Max and paddy seem to be doing well so far... no spats to speak of,just a little rumbling from max and a lot of bum sniffing. Paddy is a cheeky little mite! bless him :)
 
I'm not the right person to ask, as I've got 50-ish here... but I'd say if you have space, time, finanances and space in your heart to give more pigs a forever home then definitely think about it.

Probably not wise to put sows in smelling distance of your two recently introduced boars, as you say, but I also have to say that my lot all live in the same space and (touch wood!) no problems -it depends on the piggies

I've got 2 spare cages in the shed but for now the only reason I've not got another piggie is because I'm getting a puppy so for now that's my reason.. After a few months I won't have a reason not to get one rolleyes I suppose a reason could be I don't really have enough room anymore but I'm sure mum wouldn't mind a cage or 2 in her bedroom.
 
i started with 4...... one was a pet sop mis sex back when i knew no better and he got two of my girls preg... ended up with 12..... One died :( got a new one for a lonly boar i had... back to 12...
went on hols and my pet sitter mixed by pigs up... i now have extra 4 plus another pregnant...... Good job I'm totally besotted!
 
I started with 1 boar then wanting to adopt 2 sows (kept seperate) from Sokel that was in November, now well hee I have a few and more fosters :))

Its hard to be hard and say nope no more, but then a rescue comes in that melts your heart and kind of scuppers everthing :))
 
I resisted the nagging to get any from my husband and children. However once we had 2 I had to have more so got another and then another and was abot to get another tomorrow however I think I my have a pregnant one. Mine are all girls (i've checked) but it looks likely one came to us pregnant! So maybe not getting one tomorrow and waiting and seeing what happens.

You know you are dead right about the yearning, it IS like wanting a baby. I never intended to build and have a HUGE cage in my living room but once I got the bug it seemed the only option hee hee.

Good luck with your craving!
 
I agree, its almost an addiction and in a way having the girls (Disney, Paris and now Ebony) has filled my yearning for a daughter. I am smitten with them all and spoil them rotten ...... like the pink accessories for the hutch, I can't wait to get home just to spend time with them :))
