boar

So it looks as though I'll become the forever home for a nice young man at the end of the month and I have some questions. Firstly, I've read that they can still produce boar glue, much to my disgust! :)) Can they still suffer with sperm rods too? I'm very nervous as I will have to bond him...

Had to share more pictures of my Mo from his floor time today- the last picture!

All this space and where is Mo?

Excuse the title haha but had to share these pics of Mo's first trusted floor time in the new layout of my room. He has a full square and then a corner to run around in and he loves it! Was a bit nervous after he disappeared under the bookshelf the very very first time he ever went on the ground...

ive posed before about little fights and things, it's not really any worse. I have noticed more marks on them now, like grazes, but nothing serious. I took them to my vet for other reasons and he recommended neutering them if their fighting became any worse, he did say though it often calms down...

2 weeks ago, I got a 10 week old boar to go with my nearly 1 year old boar. They were fine until just this evening, my older male has starting humping the littler one a quite a bit. It's been about 5 minutes none stop and my littest is being very vocal. Do I just wait for it to pass?

This is another thread about my friend(whom I have mentioned a couple of times) who seems to be magic when it comes to bonding boars. So she purchased two bonded boars but they started fighting so she split them up and put Russell with her two rescued sows and Howard with her newest sow Quinn...

So I think this is the term-sperm rods? I was just wondering whether this is a sperm rod or if I'm being daft. I've noticed a few come from my boars boar bits and wondered if they're something else. There not rock solid just kind of rubbery and they're definitely not worms! He is pooing fine and...

Hi I recently did thread on a worry I had regarding Mo's testicles. I've kept my eye on it but now it looks slightly red rather then white. I've read it could just be a scratch from hay or something or perhaps he scratched it but I was just wondering whether I should immediately worry about a...

Hi guys it's me again with another question that if it wasn't piggy related I'd probably be locked up for asking haha. Basically I just cleaned my piggy out like usual- shook his fleece and removed hay and poos. I proceeded to give him his little stroke where he rolls over and reveals his belly...

Hello! I am new to owning guinea pigs. I've had everything under the sun and this is my first time having guinea pigs. Last week I got a male 2 month old guinea pig and named him gus and today I got another 2 month old male guinea pig from the same place and named him Gibby. Now I have been...

Hi everyone :) Beforehand tl;dr : I have a single 1yr old boar, I'm a bit worried that he's depressed, he won't mix with other boars and I am unsure about getting him neutered. General advice? The details: So I have a lone guinea called Oliver, and he's almost a year old now. I'm a student...

So hi guys yet again on the subject of Mo's bowels. Before I share my worries I just want to point out that Mo is eating well,par his hay which he is still eating but not as vigorously and his teeth are pristine. His hair bounces back,he's alert and chews bars for food. No hunched posture though...

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...

(Not sure if this is quite the right thread) Hello, I just met a very sweet piggy at a shelter. I was volunteering with dogs, but this piggy was sitting out on a counter, and he's been at the shelter for multiple months : ( the problem is he's a boar and I have two girls. If I get him I'll house...

Hello everyone, This is my first time posting on this forum so please correct me if I make any mistakes! We have a 5 year old boar named Pebble (PB as a nickname). He now lives alone after we lost our other piggy two years ago. He has always been fit and well, other than once having a UTI...

I've officially owned my boar Mo a year now and he's completely stolen my heart -and my money :lol!: Hopefilly we'll have many more years together and if all goes well then he should very well be having a brother to share those years with very soon!

This is/may be a stupid thread but after already making a thread on poop I don't think I can get any weirder! :lol!: Basically Mo has been climbing my arm recently when I put it in his cage to get his bowl or move his tunnel or pick up stray poos etc. He doesn't *idk* hump it.(stay with me)He...

So I go on holiday next week and obviously I'm excited for a change but the dread of leaving my furbabies behind always dampens my mood! I hate the thought of them falling ill or passing whilst I'm away. A friend feeds my rabbit and covers him for the nights and she's looked after him a couple...

So I've asked before but a picture might be clearer and help others who are still a little confused. I understand the whole size range thing and that a healthy guinea pig poo should be a smooth shape that it is firm enough but not hard and soft enough but not watery. Haha so this isn't really an...
