My Boars And My Doggie! (not Together)

[cyanidebaby]

This is the first day I've managed to get good quality footage of the boys. Tried out J.D. and Jekyll as names but not sure I like them. Thane was dozing in the hall after a walk so I thought it would be great for you to see him too!

Oops, here's the video

your boys are lovely! I bet they love that chube they have in there with them. They are so tiny, how old are they. Thanks for sharing them with us. You dog is gorgeous too, all chilled out.

Aww !

They're about 10/11 weeks old. I'm looking forward to meeting my red one outside the cage because I haven't yet, whereas the tortie and white I have. When they're chasing, do I just let them keep doing laps round the cage or do I distract them with food? It's only ten minutes a coupla times a day.

Cute little baby pigs! I got one of my boys at 11 weeks of age & the other when he was 8 weeks old. They are now 3 and half and 2 and a half years of age. I would leave them to chase, there is nothing to worry about in chasing or mounting - just normal behaviour. Have you seen these stickies for guidance? https://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/threads/dominance-behaviours-in-guinea-pigs.28949/ https://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/threads/boars-a-guide-to-successful-companionship.76162/

What breed is Thane? He so reminds me of my Shelly, a pure white American Eskimo who died at 11 years of age.

Thanks, I thought so, but I'm always worried they'll fight when I'm out/sleeping...

Thane's a Japanese Spitz
