Neuter But Still Want To Mate?

[Dan Angelis]

so my boy Kohako is neuter and it has been a month and a week but when I put him with Farrah my female he still wants to mate with her is it because he had never seen a female or....

It's natural I'm afraid. It will calm down eventually but all neutering does is ensure he cannot actually make her pregnant. It doesn't make him less interested in her it could also be a dominance thing as they will mount to assert dominance and if your sow is in season he will likely mount her because he knows that she is but doesn't know he cannot get her pregnant.

Neutering only takes away the capacity to make babies, but 'husboars' still exhibit all the normal behaviours and can spread an amazing amount of testosterone laden pee, especially when bonding. Please also be aware that mounting is not just a sexual but also a dominance behaviour which is practised by both genders. You can also see sows mounting boars on occasion!

I've currently got 6 neutered boars and have grown up with them.

Boars also hump the sides and even the head! It is a dominance thing!

How many weeks is that, 5? I would wait another week in case he can still "produce".

Also my girls hump each other all the time, I don't think they care

I waited 9 weeks just to be safe! The vet said 8.

White pees come from a diet that is too high in calcium.
If he has them frequently, you need to check the water, pellets and veg or you can end up with bladder stones.

Are you sure it is white pee and not semen (see boar glue): Boar Care: Bits, Bums & Baths

Here are our diet tips. If the pee dries into a hard mass, then it is semen (or 'boar glue'). it it dries into white powder, it is excess calcium. the occasional calcium pee is nothing to worry about, but if you see them on a near daily basis, then you need to adjust your diet. Guinea pig have a naturally very alkaline urine, so they are very prone to problems in the urinary tract.
