I went to pets at home and in the adoption part they have 4 Piggy's up for adoption, I have 2 male Piggy's and these at the shop are male Piggy's, if I got them all fixed what are the chances of them getting along with each other. I'm going to becme a piggy border before long
 
Getting piggies fixed will do nothing for their hormones or compatibility, it just stops them from reproducing.

Chances are, 4 boys won't go together. It's very rare for more than 2 boys to live together harmoniously.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!
 
I have to agree with Cavy Kong Fu,
It's rare for males to live happily together in more then pairs, I think some people have managed Trios but that's hard to get right because they have to be very relaxed piggies and even then it's hit and miss a lot of the time.

So I don't think you'll manage to bond your piggies with newly adopted piggies :/
 
Would they get along with a couple female Piggy's?
 
I will have to try control from homing adopted Piggy's

Oh dear it's really difficult isn't it? You could always keep the separately if you wanted to expand your herd :)

That's why I had girls for my first two, so I could expand as I knew I'd want to adopt more! :))
 
I don't see why not but then they would have to be fixed. You cant put them both in a cage with girls as they will fight. You can put 1 in a cage with a girl or girls then another in a different cage with a girl of girls. The only thing with having a load of piggies are the vet bills. I know because I've been there & had to thin my herd down.

Just a note that if they're not fighting and are still bonded then it wouldn't really be fair to separate them as they would miss their friend.

Sorry @Tiamolly123 just thought I'd mention that :)
