Pigsitting Question

[PAMELAKT]

So I've agreed to look after a friends pigs for them for a week while they're on holiday as their arrangement fell through.

I think they have 2 cages & a mix of female /male.

If I put them in the spare room which is where my little lads are will mine get hormonal at the smell of a lady? Am I best just keeping his maybe in the living room?

They're coming tomorrow so all advice welcome

I keep them in separate rooms if I have lady pigs over to stay. I don’t want my two boys getting all hot and bothered!

That's what I was thinking - thank you! I will do that... my little fellas are only 12 weeks old so I don't want to risk them squabbling... xx

Just like when introducing two bores and a sow, bores will fight over females! They get territorial if they are on (or past) their hormonal stages. Also, if they hear each other's squeaking, they might go a little crazy. Of course, it may be fine, but I wouldn't risk it.
