hi have a 2 year old coronet boar who has started to lose weight ive wormed him his teeth are fine i aqquired him from a friend who was no longer wanting guineas so i took all hers home with me he came to me with a sow i thought she was bullying him so i took him out and put him with his 2 sons from a previous breeding can any one shed light on why he is like this thanks:(
 
Sorry, only thing I can suggest is a trip to the vet to find out why he's losing weight
 
The sons may be bullying him and if there is only one food bowl they may just not be letting him get to the food.try seperating him and see if he gets fatter.probably a vet trip would not go amiss.If he is drinking noticably more it may be diabetes
 
I think a once over at the vets would be the best thing. How long have you had him - he might be a bit stressed?
