should i get my boar.........

[jacksmylad]

A male friend or neutered Female as he tends to hump the other boys when they are in the run together :embarassed:

You will find it near impossible to get a neutered sow, the op is too risky and invasive.

You could get him a baby boar as a friend or neuter him and get him a sow

 

[jacksmylad]

could him neutered why does he hump the boys?

 

[MemberY]

Most boars do this to other boars, its a sign of dominance to show that they are the boss pig. Dont worry about it, it usually settles down once the pecking order has been established O0

 

[jacksmylad]

Pecking order?

 

[MemberY]

Pecking order means to see which boar is going to be in charge, one has to be dominant or "the boss". This means they get the best sleeping spots, get the best pick of the veg first etc.. with a group of sows, there is the top pig, second in command and so on...

i would NOT get any pig fixed unless it was a medical reason as any surgery and guineas are a dangerous business. if your piggies are not fighting and they appear happy i would leave them as is for as long as possible. O0 hugs to your boys and welcome from us in oz :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

If they are getting along fine and not fighting, then perhaps just see what happens ... and keep a close watch on them.
