Hello everyone!

I am currently looking after a piggie who I have named Duke.
His old owner sadly ended up in hospital and was no longer able to take care of them. A neighbour then took him along with 3 other boars. They all lived together peacefully. Sadly the friend not knowing piggies dynamics gave the dominant boar away. This caused the remaining 3 to start fighting. Duke sadly lost and was evicted.
I volunteered to take him when he was being given away for free in my brother's neighbourhood bulletin board. I didn't want anyone without knowledge taking him and keeping him single - as was advised.

He was dropped off along with a cage. Here's photos of the day I got him.
He was covered in bites which I have given him pain relief for and the lady told me she just fed them some carrot and apple everyday. 😱

His bite wounds which are mostly healed now.

This is him now! Taken 18 days later.

He is a super friendly little guy and loves to wheek at me.
He's roughly 3-3 half years old.

I have a new mummy hopefully sorted out for him. She has a herd of ladies and would like a neutered boar to go with him. I will keep him while he heals from the surgery as her ladies are out in a shed and he can stay indoors until he's healed.

So everyone I am pleased to introduce Duke!

Fast asleep in the open. Not a worry in the world, until he hears the rustle of a bag :))IMG_20210107_192419.webp
 
He looks very sweet. Glad he has a good home lined up after his rather less than idea time prior to being with you.
 
Aww so kind of you to take him in, I’m sure he will have a happy life ahead of him when he is ready for his new ladies!
 
What a lucky boy being taken in by you.
He’s so handsome I’m sure he’ll be a hit with the ladies.
Your care looks as if it’s making all the difference to him already.
 
Some piggies have such a bad time. Thank you for helping him and me and my piggies send him lots of best wishes for his happy future. He is very cute :love:

Thank you ❤️
I think the ladies will love him. "Bossy boots" the dominant female might be a bit bossy but as long as he backs down I think he'll be the happiest boy in the world 🥰

Thank you :) I really wanted to help him. It broke my heart when I saw his story.

Thank you from you and your piggies ❤️
 
His fabulous life began when you took him in. Long May it continue and May he be a hit with the ladies. Heal well handsome :wub:
 
I can understand why you would! 😆
😂 He's just so sweet and polite. My lot are like piranha. They attack my hand (shoving it) until I drop the food. But he stands politely as I place it in the bowl. He's a little prince charming 😂

Oh no, sounds like me when I said I’d take in Jasper ‘temporarily’! That lasted all of erm 🤔 two hours! :))
He’s gorgeous, how lucky he is to have found you to look after him :D Hope he’s all healed soon :)xx
:)) :)) It's lucky he's a boy so it's not so easy for me to keep him as my 3 are a neutered boar and two ladies. If he was a girl he'd be in their cage already 😂

Thank you ❤️
