boar behaviours

Would you say this is a healthy weight gain or should I put them on a "diet"? Wed, 22nd Feb Boar - Gizmo - 5 Months - 903g Female - Pip - 5 Months - 710g Female - Miffy - 2 Months - 371g Wed, 1st March Gizmo - 5 Months - 950g Pip - 5 months - 755g Miffy - 2 months - 391g And does anyone...

Hello all. New here. Yes, I read the above threads, but as you all know when this happens you still have to ask. So, we lost a pig yesterday. Truffles. He died very quickly, as did his brother (actual brother, from the same litter, who passed away about 4 months ago). They were bought from a...

I bought my guinea pigs from what was suppose to be a reputable breeder. I've had a lot of problems with them since having them 4 weeks ago. A lot of them were diet and health related, I have either resolved or they are resolving. My biggest worry and problem right now is a dominance problem...

So just as a quick disclaimer i am aware that boars can be grouchy and that dominance plays a big part in this! I know who is the dominant pig and who is the submissive but i was just wondering if anyone else finds this! Also i apologise in advance for the novel i am about to write! So my boys...

My boys seem to be getting bored in the run! They have a great big multi storey cage so they can scuttle about to their little hearts content. They also have an indoor run meant for puppies (it takes up a fair bit of my living room!) and they go in that as much as possible - this is on average...

Anyone can see in my post history that there's been a bit of a saga regarding my two boars, Tubs (dominant, but fear-reactive) and Flubs (submissive, but not enough for Tubs' taste). They've never really co-existed peacefully, and things have went up and down during their teenage months. They...

I would very much appreciate some advice. I bought 2 males to live indoors for my daughter, only had them 6 weeks so are very new to caring for piggies, though I did loads of research prior to purchase. Been weighing them regularly etc to monitor health as advised and the appeared to be...

Hi! A few months ago I adopted a 'free to good home' piggy (Percy). He was very nervous and hadn't been handled a whole lot, so I've taken a few months with him getting him tame. He's now a lot happier, so I have just picked up an eight week old boar and am hoping to bond them. I've never...

I adopted two boars that were paired together, jethro and leroy from a Guinea pig rescue near me and am getting a little concerned about leroys behaviours towards jethro. Leroy has been getting very aggressive towards jethro; biting him continuously, mounting him, not letting him drink or eat...

Hi there. We have three male guinea pigs that we got from a rescue centre as 8 week olds. They are not related as far as we know! They are now about 6 months old. They have got on well together on the whole with the normal dominance behaviours between two of them. One of the more dominant boars...
