Hi and welcome

Your baby boys have now entered the teenage months when their testicles start descending and they start experiencing high levels of testosterone which is often a difficult phase that can lead to fall-outs in the piggies with the greatest personality mismatch.
Please be aware that the majority of boar trios fail; the rate is much higher when 2-3 teenagers are involved because of the additional stress that the hormone spikes and the ensuing instability cause. :(

Please take the time to read these guides here. You should find them very helpful as we have made them as detailed as possible. They look at every aspect connected with the teenage months.
