Now my boar is smelling a little bit and ive heard they need special care such as Wiping down theyre manhood once a week and cleaning theyre grease gland in a bath every 3 months. Are theyre anymore things that i need to do? Thank you in advance
 
Hi,

I use swarfega to clean the grease gland, I find the gland on mine needs doing every 6 weeks or so, I just rub a little swarfega in let it soak, then gently lift any hardened and bath afterwards to wash off any remaining swarfega:))

concerning the other bits, I use a cotton pad with warm water to just clean with

I'm not sure *** "swarfega" is but can i just use theyre normal shampoo? and thanks.
 
If you use a shampoo you have to make sure you totally get rid of any leftover's.......a thorough rinse as they do groom themselves
You could use the makeup pad removers and soak them in warm water and see if that cleans it off

i can't find the reply i wanted but i'm sure someone, maybe Pebbles was it? that did a great reply regarding washing boars scent gland.......maybe you could have a hunt around for that thread :)
