Oscar is gorgeous.
I love boars. They get so mellow and soppy as they age.

I really miss having boars. They are so lovely as they get older and are so chilled.

When are boars old enough to be mellow and chilled ?
I ask as Micah is about 4.5 years old now and showing no signs of being anything other than a thug.
He is still absolutely gorgeous though.

Gotta love a boar. Especially a thuggy boar. He can have a home here. You could always bring him down in January. Ruth can come too as she really shouldn't be left on her own.

Red and Brillo haven't read the chapter in the book where it's mentioned when it comes to other guinea pigs but they are definitely more chilled with humans.

I think they're just a bit dim and don't consider the consequences of their actions, such as sitting on a fleecy tunnel when their wife is inside it. It's all that testosterone.

Here are my two boys Milo and Pongo. Both of them are very laid back.

Bertie and Ducky. This is their first posed pictures, I thought I would have trouble especially from Bertie but they both sat as if butter wouldn't melt. I think the grass helped!

Love my two boars - Bertie nearly 5 is still a thug. The gorgeous Hutchie - not sure nearing 5 or 5+ just pootles around saying ‘yeah whatever Bert’. Classic grumpy old men

Aw what lovely boar pics I miss my Enoch who died in 2015 and Edward 2022. They both adored their wives and were so snuggly and laid back x

Aww I love all the cute boar pics! I have 4 girls but also 2 boars & I love my boys!
One of them is definitely the more timid, calm one...the other is boisterous & full of testosterone lol. They're both a year & a half old!
They get along really well but Patches definitely is the dominant one lol. Powder is so calm & laidback.
This is Powder (the more timid one):

I have always had both boars and sows, and the only aggression problem I ever had was with sows. I had a bought in mother and daughter pair, and soon found out why they were unloved, they flatly refused to associate with anyone else, ever! They had to live alone until the mother eventually passed, and then the daughter happily moved in with other sows, so it was the mother all along!
The boars do smell more though, not as much as male mice, but certainly very noticeable, especially as they get older. I had a trio of nearly nines, now sadly down to a pair, but they are def the smelliest of them all!
