So Apparently I Now Own A Boar....

[Coco&Luna]

I've never owned a boar before and I noticed this on his bum, right above his dangleberries...It's really sticky like sap...Am i right in assuming this is his grease gland?
He also smells bad, kinna like a wet dog, is this normal for boys?



Is there anything else i need to know right now about boars?

 

[Wiebke]

Yes, that is the grease gland. It tends to be more active in whole boars than in sows or neutered boars.

Please also check his bits regularly and extrude the penis, as semen can dry around it and form so called semen rods that can be very painful. Some boars more than others can also collect a lot of muck in their pouch.

I've had 4 boys and never had that!

 

[Flutterby]

Oh, that's very greasy! Smelly boys just capture your heart, don't they!

 

[Coco&Luna]

Oh sweet mother of god, extrude the penis.......what a treat, I can't wait! haha

He really smells awful & has fungal.

He's booked in for check up & nutering next wednesday, so hopefully that will calm the grease gland. lol.

Thaks guys

Man-pigs know how to be just so sexy!

 

[Chief Guinea Pig]

I have no advice, but wish to send vibes and best wishes. Poor thing. xx

 

[Coco&Luna]

Haha, I've always been glad i've only ever had sows because of all this talk you guys have of "extrude the penis" "sperm rod" and "boar glue"..........it never sounded like something i fancied doing myself. hahaha

@Flutterby ahaha, i know. He's strutting about his new cage like he's gods gift to women smelling like a sewer and upto his neck in grease!

@Chief Guinea Pig I know, I always get landed with the problem children even my vet said the other day "ugh hen, you just seem to get landed with all the duds don't you?" haha

We certainly do!

 

[Flutterby]

Hahahaha!

 

[BossHogg]

He da man!

 

[Flutterby]

Totally!

 

[BossHogg]

I'm in the bath washing my boar grease off so I can go to work smelling all nice.

 

[Flutterby]

Perhaps you can give him some cleaning tips?

Good luck with his neutering by the way!

 

[Coco&Luna]

He da man!

Him and Luna will make a lovely pair......don't know if you've ever read the roald dahl book "the twits" hahaha
Poor babes.

 

[BossHogg]

So whats the new guy called? I think he should have a manly name, something like BossHogg.

 

[Flutterby]

I like that idea, he's a proper man-pig!

 

[Coco&Luna]

haha, He's called Stanley. I wanted to call him Captain Spaulding (from a film called The Devil's Reject's) but couldnt face registering him at the vets and having to say it to the little woman lol

 

[Coco&Luna]

He' huge, he weighs over 1,400g! I picked him up like "awww arn't you a cute little....woahhh!"

 

[Flutterby]

Haha! That's a fair weight! My biggest girl only weighs just short of 1,200g!

 

[Wiebke]

Oh sweet mother of god, extrude the penis.......what a treat, I can't wait! haha

Thankfully, neutered boars ar generally easier and somewhat less smelly than full boars; they don't have the deep pouch and are not quite as prone to rods, very greasy glands etc. I check my "husboars" about once a month.

 

[Coco&Luna]

ahaha, sorry boss, was my picture too cheeky?

 

[A&T]

Rather you than me!

 

[Coco&Luna]

That's what i always said, now look! been made to climb off my throne and join the grossness haha

 

[Deleted member 114675]

Do we get a front view too. - Grease glands and dangleberries are OK - but it's nice to put a face to the pigture.

 

[Coco&Luna]

His cage is manky already, typical boy...

& his eyes are actually brown lol

 

[Wiebke]

What a cutie boy!

 

[Deleted member 114675]

He's adorable

 

[BossHogg]

haha, He's called Stanley. I wanted to call him Captain Spaulding (from a film called The Devil's Reject's) but couldnt face registering him at the vets and having to say it to the little woman lol

My first piggy was called Stanley, he was intact and a right cutie, he was bigger than your Stanley!

 

[jenny57]

What a sweetheart!
