What is this?

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what this is please?
I found it in my boars cage.
It’s hard to touch but when I scraped at it it felt abit jellified, like mastick that you seal bath tubs or windows with. Hope someone know what I mean. Should I be worried?

It looks like boar glue to me (semen). It dries hard and is really difficult to remove (hence the nick name boar glue) but it’s nothing to worry about and is natural

Hahaha. I believe it is boar glue.

Oh ewwww. I touched it

Had a suspicion but weren’t sure haha

Thanks guys!

I’m planning on getting him neutered, will this still happen then?

 

[Betsy]

Yep! The joys of boar keeping! Neutering doesn't alter behaviour at all just the ability to make babies.

Lol the first time I saw boar glue in my cage I was like “what the heck” I touched it and then found out what it was. I washed hands a lot that day.
