I've got a male piggie that can t get on with other boys after they are a year old. Would he get on with a neutered female maybe, as I don't want him to be a lonesome pig all winter when they can't get out in the run so much?
That's a good idea, he is 2 in october.
If he was neutered would it stop him fighting with the boys? (it does for cats!)
Hmm I think my best option would be to swap 2 bonded boys for a pair of girls then neuter the other two as I can't realistically accomodate more than two pairs. Does that sound like a solution?
I'm a little confused about what it is your wanting to do. So am I right in thinking you have 4 boars at the moment, 3 of which are in a group and 1 single. You want to "swap" 2 of the three in the group for 2 sows, then get the 2 remaining boars neutered and put a girl in with each of them?
I'm confused too Gems.
All I will say on the matter is guinea pigs are, funnily enough, animals, not football stickers, you can't just 'swap' them.
So what would your answer then, leave them all together and let them kill each other? I am trying to do the responsible thing and try and find a solution that will benefit my pigs.
