Neutering Boys

[piggy person]

I've gotten a pair of beautiful boys, six months old (Although Bill is mahosive ) My friend told me that when they scent girls, they are very anti-social, and we also have a pair of girlies. Me and my mum we're talking, and we thought that neautering might be a good choice as we don't want the boys under any stress, and maybe introduce them to Splodge and Marmite.
Would there be a high risk involved? How much would it cost?

Thanks for reading.

No anaesthetic is without risk. There is also the risk of post operative complications.

From what I've heard you can only have one boar with a group of sows. Two will fight over the girls, even if they are neutered

Also to add, I have a pair of boars in the same room as a pair of sows with no problems. Just make sure you deal with the boars first and wash your hands after dealing with the girls. You will also need seperate toys etc.

I do keep them seperate, but I thought it might be easier for me and them if they were together, but I guess not. Thanks anyway!
