Since I am a newbie I thought I best introduce my 2 gorgeous boys. Sorry about the picture quality, they were taken on my phone.

First here's Bugsy, he's 6 now - the tan around his eyes has gone kinda greyish now but he is still very young at heart and very active.

Here's Nelson, he's 3 and is the more dominant of the pair. It doesn't look it in the pic but his fur is sooooo soft, I love to twiddle my fingers in his fur - he loves it too x)

And this one just because it makes me laugh every time I look at it :))

They both came to me as rescues, separately, and now they live very happily together.

All my animals are rescues except my pup. There are so many animals in rescues who deserve loving homes but get overlooked by people in favour of babies.

I have tons of funny pics of Nelson like the third one! He's such a wonderful comical character. I will be posting plenty of pictures in due course! :))
 
lovely pics of such lovely pigs

I am going to have to pignap your abbey (I have a thing for them :red )
 
Handsome boys x)

can 2 boars live together? Id love to get my ditto a friend but have been informed that ditto would attack another boar?
 
Lil-Ninnibig, yes my boars live very happily with each other, if you go to a rescue they can do boar dating to find any suitable matches with your boar however this is not how I managed to bond my pair, it took a lot of careful planning, patience and time to pair mine but it is so worth it, a human cannot possibly interact with a guinea pig in the way another guinea pig does, its truly wonderful to see two guinea pigs interact and enjoy each others company x)

If bonded properly, under expert supervision, boars of any age can be bonded and rebonded. Shops and most breeders won't have the time or knowledge - hence the myth that fallen out boars have to stay single. mallethead
Have a look at Suzygpr's boar dating blog; she runs a rescue that offers a bonding service: http://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=59233
 
My Zelda has a cute little fur horn just like Nelson xx>>> They both look so contented :))
 
erty_pigs you gotta love a rhino piggy x)

Thanks for all the nice comments, my piggies are going to get big headed with all these lovely comments :))
