My beautiful boys

[elgicnola]

Here are my lovely boys jasper, jared and Jacob... Also ,a aged to get them cuddling their teddy.

Jasper is a bit of a loaner, he likes to be by himself and hates being anywhere near me. Jared the one with a black ear loves me best lol he loves cuddles, Jacob the grey one is still timid but prefers my son and partner to me. I have trimmed the hair around the bottom...do I need to trim it up the back as well? Also how old and how often should I clean out the anal sack..they are 16 weeks now...no fights yet..is that still to come?

Gosh, they are stunning. Really really handsome chaps!

Can't help with the cleaning bit lol But I would just keep the bum area trimmed to avoid matting. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous boys!

Your boys are very beautiful! Personally, I would give them an overall summer haircut to about half the current hair length and especially trim the sides and undercarriage at all times so the hair doesn't touch the ground. Longhaired piggies' hair grows quite quickly, so you may find yourself doing it every 1-3 months (depending on how hard you cut back). Your boys will be very grateful! While they look gorgeous with long hair, they are much happier when they can romp around to their hearts' delight without getting mats and sweltering in their long coats in this warm weather.

Here is a picture of how I keep my own teenager peru trimmed (Tegan):

Your boys are just about coming up to the start of the big hormones. The testicles should be descending over the next two months when they develop the full adult array. Just keep a weekly check on their privates as well as their grease glands (about an inch up from the privates on rump end) and clean as needed; both will come into their own over the next few weeks. Make sure that you check the penis, too. Boars can develop very uncomfortable, very smelly sperm rods when the sperm hardens. Best turn the weekly check into a ritual with some big fuss, lots of praise and a nice special treat at the end.

Hormones will settle down when the boys reach full adulthood at baout 15 months old. Until then, it will flare up in spikes and spurts (often at 4 and 6 months and then a difficult period between 8-10 months, but there is no hard and fast rule).

Make sure that they have lots of space, a corner each with a hidey, a bowl and a water bottle to himself (well away from any other same item) with a big pile of hay in the middle. Many disputes spark up with being possessive over some furnishing or over food. Fights can also start when they boys can't get away from each other and get on each other nerves.
