I popped into P@H today to pick up some dog food and something made me have a look in the Adoption section. There, all alone, in a glass box, was a lone boar called Roger (now thats a name to make you all go 'awwww')! He is 14 weeks old and is there because he was the 'leftover' pig.
Now, I'm not looking to increase my numbers but Roger looked SOOOOO sad. So I asked what happens with adoptions and the guy said that you fill in the forms, make a donation then take them home.
I asked if I could bring mine in to see how they get on and was told that this wasn't possible.
He then asked if he could give me some advice and went on to say that you shouldn't inroduce new pigs when you have more than one as they are territorial and will fight. Thats why Roger is on his own. I asked if I could give him some advice and suggested he acquaint himself with this website!
He said that I can have Roger but if they don't get on I can bring him back (as if I would ever be able to do that!) but I couldn't have my donation back!
So, what to do now? Some of you might recall that my 2 have had their squabbles, have fallen out and then moved themselves back in together. I have to confess that Roger has been playing on my mind since I saw him. I guess if I take him and they don't get on I could always ask on here for a single boar to partner him up with?
I don't know so would appreciate all and any comments.
Thanks.
