I've got the cutest baby boy snuggled up with me...a piggy in case anyone thought i'd got lucky ;) as if !
but i've already got 8 split into 2 groups..4girls & a neutered male and 2girls & a neutered male,haven't really got room for another hutch & don't want to rehome "Badger", :'( if he was a she i'd try introducing him into a group but being a boy I doubt it'll work ?
Any suggestions....please...
 
I've heard of 2 males living with a herd of girls but it has to be a really submissive male, I can imagine my Eccles doing that! It may upset the dynamics of the group introducing him to an exsisting group and you may end up in a situation where you need to seperate.

The only thing I can think of is getting him neutered to live with a female and that means getting another pig. I know you don't want to rehome him but if you haven't the space I would seriously consider finding that perfect home, perhaps with someone you know so you don't loose touch.

Good luck, it's a toughie I've had four rescues here and hated saying bye to them all!

thats the problem if he stays i'd get him neutered but have to get him a girlfriend,my friend has already got 18 in groups of 1 neutered boar & females so she couldn't take him as she'd be in the same position and be increasing her numbers.
I know i'll have to find him a new home in reality,jus trying to avoid the inevitable :'(
Thanks anyway x
 
aw :( Could you not introduce him to 2 girls from the 'neutered male and four girls' group? you must be able to get a hutch cheap from somewhere, have you tried classifieds, preloved, your local paper
 
getting a hutch wouldn't be a prob it's just finding space for it ! I'll have to have a fiddle & a jiggle on the back yard & see if I could fit it in somewhere?

Thanks guys- you noticed people without pigs don't understand?
 
Oh yes my mother always says another one! ;D She doesn't get it! I know what you mean about Space I have a 8x4 shed it's a Tardis looks tiny on the outside but seems huge I have boys in 4x2 cages and girls in a C&C pen 4x4 it just fits, it's a jigsaw I've room for one more cage!

It's a jigsaw puzzle but you always figure something out. ;D
