Hi,

I have 1 boar and I am introducing a baby boar to him. When they come in contact the older boar sticks his butthole out and it smells so nasty like a trashcan mixed with poop and rotten garbanzo beans. Is this normal? I assume he is marking his territory, but it's gross! Why does his butt hole pop out?:^-
 
Just to be on the safe side, have you checked the older boar for impaction?

Apart from that, iyou are dealing with pure undiluted testosterone and it STINKS. It is also amazing how much one little piggy can produce! Your olde boar is showing who is the manliest boar around...
 
Ah that's interesting as I have noticed Patch doing this whenever he goes too near Scruff....boys are horrid aren't they hee hee!
 
thankyou for mentioning this my 2 boars do this regularly and I agree it absolutely stinks!

I frequently call them my stinky two lol will this stop as they mature or am
I to suffer their stink forever?

I still wouldnt change them but smelling nicer would be a bonus x
 
yep, I have 6 stinky bottom boars here in my room and when the radiators been on the combination is powerful

I have read this with interest I have never smelt my two boys and I never even knew their made this smell..:)) you learn something new everyday.
 
I had this when Chewie and Dylan were together especially in the week or so before their big fall out. They were absolutely mingin'!:)>>>
 
My boars still do it and they are a mixture of ages Patrick is the worse culprit and well over 3 :)).

I suggest investing in a closepeg rolleyes.
 
Bob does this when he feels like he needs to show dominance. It smells DISGUSTING, it reminds me of a skunk smell :))
 
Smelly scent

Does neutering your boar stop them from butt rubbing their scent gland?
 
My 3 month old boar does this too - its VILE - doesnt help that he sleeps about 6 inches from my face:)>>> dirty boar - my ladies always smell lovely!^)
 
Rocket does it too, it really is yucky! :)>>>

Unfortunatly unlike with other animals neutering a guinea pig will not change there behaviour or "sexual drives" at all. It only stops them being able to father babies.
