Oh lovely. Don't forget to post pictures of proud dad and his offspring and Uncle Charlie.
Tomorrow will be early enough. Good that you have got a second opinion.
Here are tips on how to make the separation as easy as possible, but you will have to brace yourself for a couple of heart-braking days: http://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/threads/separating-baby-boars-and-rehoming-babies.109391/

Yes i thought tomorrow would be ok as its getting late now. They've had a second lot of ivermectin.
They squeak even if they are separated for a few seconds so its going to be very noisy!
HUGS! It is so much easier when you have got two boys or an nanny boar... but hopefully, he can join mum and sis eventually!

Yes. Hopefully the 2 boys wont be too hard on him!
Make sure that he has got a cardboard box or tunnel where the big ones can't follow him into.

Will do. They are both old and laid back so fingers crossed

I have had my 2 boars and Ollie on the floor together today, Kevin kept sniffing and licking ollies bum and they both keep following him round.They are now in the cage and ollies hidden in the box i put in. Kevin is trying to get in also but can't fit. He is being quite vocal and as mummy and sister are near by they keep squeaking too! Is this all normal behaviour?
This is very normal. It may be a bit easier Olli couldn't hear his old family, but the dominance so far is very mild. There may be some humping later on.

Kevin has managed to get into the box by gnawing at it so i have put another stronger one in. They are all huddled together in a pile of hay atm!
Sounds very good! The escape box is mainly there in case humping gets a bit much for the little one.

They are getting on well. Kevin likes to sit near him.Taking on the daddy role very well! Still squeaking but I'm expecting that for a couple of days.
