Someone needs to adopt these boys before i do!

[Sweet Potato]

My local pets at home (crewe) has these two perfect piggies up for adoption. They seem to think they're only 8 months old. They look like they are so well bonded which is the only thing I would ever care about when adopting boars. They were sharing a hide and laying about next to each other which seems like a dream for teenage boars. I love them so much but it would not be at all sensible to adopt them myself right now. They're called Frankie and Benny! I dont know which is which but one is a black shorthaired pig with the cutest grey hairs on his back and the other is a longhaired piggy with ginger patches

You know you want to
Common sense has no place in this.

This how I acquired Micah just a few weeks before we moved house !
He was labelled as having to live alone so heart overruled head and I went back for him the next day !

They are young enough to neuter and marry to sows once the are off

But they have such a lovely bond it would be a shame to break them up

This is pretty much how I ended up with Comet and Blitzen, 12-16 weeks old at the time and very much bonded for life (and sleeping next to each other constantly).

I don't go near Pets At Home these days. Much safer, lol.

I didn't have room for Misty and Bramble when they refused bond with Thea. So they lived on a table in a cage in my garage near the hutch. It was really awkward as the table/cage arrangement took up lots of room and needed moving every time I had to get Thea out of the hutch. After about a year Aunty Lilli (Boarder) managed to bond them successfully. If she hadn't the table/cage arrangement would have stayed until Thea went to the Rainbow Bridge 2 years later.

Hugo is chirping they haven't done this for ages I think they know ive been talking to other piggies behind their backs

Go on you know you have (want) to.

Might not last though, it doesn't always with boars. Or do you know they've been through the second hormone spike / fall-out phase?

@Sweet Potato
Are you expecting a human baby quite soon? Or is that someone else? If you are expecting one, I'd ignore @Betsy at this point.

I was going to say much the same - @Sweet Potato will have her hands full soon enough with a demanding hooman baby, adding furry ones to the mix could be a bit much, however much you love Guinea pigs.

I don't think I could have managed caring for both pigs and a new baby together, though I admit I am pretty inefficient and it wouldn't be hard to be better than I was at both...

Correct i think part of the struggle is that my maternal instincts and hormones are on fire at the moment
