Hi, I get my pigs tomorrow. I have chosen 2 boys. As far as I can see they will be fine living together as they have been together since very young (1 is 14 weeks and the other is 10 weeks old). There is another 1 in with them at the moment.
Will all 3 live together happily or would this be a mistake? I have mananged to get my husband to agree I can bring the 3rd home if he is still there tomorrow when we pick them up.
The hutch is fairly big with a good size run so space isn't an issue I think.
Thanks in advance.
 
Two boys may live happily together. Three would be pushing it. I wouldn't chance it and upset the balance. :) Some people have more than two boars living together but it is rare. :)
 
Thank you. Iwonder if I can persuade my hubby to get a second hutch? ;D
 
Haha I started off with 2 boars then got a third and they lived happily for 2 weeks! ::) So then I had a lone boar and he needed a friend, so I then had four boys. Sadly Cuzzy passed away so I needed a pal for his cage mate. Then my original two fell out found a little guy for one of them and Twinkle is getting his friend soon so that will be 6 boars and I also have 4 girls and a rabbit! ;D

And I only wanted a hamster. But I love them! Any pics of your two? :smitten:
 
i have 4 boys liiving togther but there are all borthers and will be one next week there older bother aflie who is 3 months older did live with them untill he tried to kill ruben aflie now live on his own
 
I once had 4 boars live very happily together, it was dad and three sons so i dont know if that made a difference
 
i have 2 boars together who are almost 2 years old they have always been together and get o well.

i also have 2 lone boars who just wont get on with each other, or my other two, as it always upsets at least 1 pig. id say just keep the 2 together, because if they fall out in a 3, you will have a bit of a dilema.

I'm in the process of gradually getting friends for the 2 lone boars
 
I once had 21 sows living together but i do know someone who had 6 boars living together but not a girl in site, personally i think she must have been putting something in their water ;),
