rocky and humphrey have decided they no longer want to be friends. they have just had a huge fight humphrey won. they are now living alone not sure weather i should get them new friends yet they wont even play nice thru a grid malletheadmallethead humphrey seems to love the trio but i dont wanna spoil that. where can i get 2x < 3 month old baby boars from I'm wary of neutering
 
I am very sorry for the fall out. Please let them settle down first. They will be very upset right now.

The best way of creating a much more stable boar bond are guinea pig rescues that offer to bond your boars for you or allow you to bring your boys to choose their own new friends. It is worth travelling further for that - the danger of more fall outs is a lot smaller than just getting two youngsters. Character compatibility and liking is the magic ingredient in a happy bonding.
Here is a list of rescues; however it is neither up to date nor complete at the moment; please ring round! http://www.guineapigrehome.org.uk/gp/centres.asp#Lincolnshire
 
rocky seems to enjoy being on his own. Humphrey is looking a bit more miserable.
humphrey gets on well with gizmo and bill
bill gets on well with humphrey
rocky gets on well with emma (slave)
gizmo gets on well with ben, humphrey, and bill
ben gets on well with gizmo and mostly bill
and because of this I not 100% sure what to do
 
odd behaviour

can pigs get rabies rocky puffs and chatters as soon as he sees me and then tries to bite my hand when i make an effort to fuss him. its bizzare he's being willingly aggressive toward me
 
Sorry your boys fell out, Its so upsetting when that happens. I agree with Wiebke, boar dating works much better in the long run than getting two babies. There is always a danger with babies that when they hit puberty that there could be fall outs again.
 
I'm sorry your boars had a fall out, I currently have 3 cages with one boar in each! :/
 
the upsetting thing is ive had this before with rocky :( and now he's being blatently vicious :'(
