    They won't use their hides, is this normal?

    Hello everyone. I have an adult neutered boar and an adult female sow living together in a C&C cage. Up until now they have used their hides without any problems. Due to it being winter I have put a blanket over the edge of the cage to provide some cover on the side as well as overhead, which...

    Singe uneutered boar alongside females - experiences/advice?

    Hello, I recently lost one of my two piggies, and am trying to think of what is best to do for my little guy who is remaining. Romeo is 5 years old (ish, he was about 2 when I adopted him), but not in the best health (under-control eye problem which makes him mostly blind in one eye). He has...

    Hi everyone! I’m looking for a bit of advice as we’ve had a situation with our boar pigs which has resulted in us having to separate one of them.

    Singled Out Boar - Should I Get Another Piggy?

    My lovely boar Asterix unfortunately doesn't seem to get along too well with his brothers. In fact, if we were to put them in the same cage, there would probably be blood. We separated him from his two brothers a long time ago - however we have the cages right next to one another so that they...
