boars

HI All! I have a question about a probable bullying situation and if its gone far enough. I have read lots of articles on here but am just looking for some added advice. We have two male boars that we got from a rescue about two weeks ago, they were estimated to be a couple months old. They get...

Didn't really know what to title the thread seeing as it's just me sharing some of my favourite pictures of the boys. But most of the pictures are from their instagram account so yeah that's why it's titled 'mo_steve_delightful.duo' for those wondering :lol!: Anyway seeing as we all love a good...

ANOTHER BONDING QUESTION My final guineapig out of the separated pair got his friend today. Put them in together, just cracked on as if they've always been together. Lots of popcorning, eating together and only a bit of rumbling and smelling. Is that alright? 0 experience of a bonding session...

Thought I'd give another update on my two boys- and once again thank you all for my help. It's apparent now that Steve is going through his hormone stage but no fall out has happened. Occasionally Steve mounts Mo but he doesn't seem too bothered. They've started popcorning together and almost...

It's my grandad's birthday soon and I'd love to get him something piggy related. He looks after Mo when I'm on holiday (now Mo and Steve haha he's yet to meet him) and he loves them. Affectionately referring to Mo as 'Oink Oink' or 'hamster'. (A large hamster *cough* sorry Mo) in fact on phone...

Just a quick one, any advice would be appreciated! Yesterday evening we cleaned out Barney's caged and his water bottle, we have both been ill so tried to avoid contact as much as possible, when i have come to check on him today i noticed his bottle was still full, i picked it up and somehow...

Hey everyone, I need some advice. I have 2 healthy intact boars that just turned 1 year old in march/April. They've been together since April 2016 when I adopted a friend for my lone piggy. Recently my white pig Milo has been squeaking up a storm for no apparent reason. This happens before...

We have two pairs of brothers (cousins too, actually!), just over 3 months old, who've started having some more aggressive squabbles between themselves. So far, we've already had to stop all four spending time together after Pooka was getting bullied and I'm not quite sure where to go from...

Barney has met Benji a few more times since my orginal post, and he had started to back down and Benji showed his dominance. We moves his cage into Benji's room so they can hear each other, and were really feeling positive untill today: I had them both on me, and it looked as if Barney was...

(Update from my old thread 1 to 2) Mo and Steve have been together just over two weeks now and I'm happy to say they still seem okay together. There is the rare occasion where Mo will mount him quite a bit but that is extremely rare now and I usually wake up with Steve wheeking over nothing-...

After buttons, we decided the right thing for Benji would be a new friend. So we found and bought barney, little white and ginger munchkin! When we took him home, we discovered righworm, so he's just completed a month of treatment! Today was his first meeting with Benji, we set up a pen on...

Hello everyone, Newbie here! My 2 boars, Grumps and Fluff, are going through a bit of a difficult time at the moment. About 2 months ago they went through what I think was their teenage hormonal stage. They were rumbling, chattering their teeth and had a few scuffles but nothing too serious...

My name is Annelle - an enthusiastic new Guinea Pig parent. I have two little boys (less than 6 months old,) named Banjo and Snoopy. I intended to stop there until I was at a Petco and felt horrible for a bigger male who was being kept alone in the small cage. My heart when out to him and I...

I recently got two 7 month old male pig goes from a local rescue (about two weeks ago) and I weighed them on arrival, and again a week later. I weighed them again today and the have both lost around 60-70g . One from 1110 to 1050 and the other from 920 to 860g. They are both completely fine and...

So, I have 5 boars (I'm trying to find a good vet to get them fixed just to be safe, but I know that won't change anything about them), they were all bought at the same time, but at 2 different locations, mostly healthy, they've been together for about a month (give or take), and 2 of them won't...

I read this and am wondering if this means that sometimes it's okay to have them on mutual ground for a while, then put back in cages next to each other, then pop them back to mutual ground another time to see if fear- aggression has diminished ? "It usually takes time and several bonding...

These too just look so cute. :love:

Here are Buddy and Peanut looking very cute. They aren't usually very close but since Fudges passing they seem to be getting along better.

Please I'm here looking for advice not criticism! I have 2 male guinea pigs who turned 1 just last week. They are my only pets and therefore live in their cage on the floor. This week my parents agreed to dog sit a dog we've known and watched over since he was a puppy. In the 10 seconds it took...

Meet Gus and Moe! We got a week ago. Since they've arrived home, both boys have been so sweet. Gus is more outgoing, and was the first out of the two to walk near the side of the cage and sniff us. Moe has been a little more skittish and likes to follow Gus around. They both seem to be coming...
