new boar

Hello, I am after some advice. So, we have 7 lovely Sows and have rescued a neutered boar a few days ago. We’ve had the usual rumbling, nips, mounting, chasing, teeth chattering etc, but 2 of our girls have taken an instant dislike to him 😩 They tolerate him all together outside in the run...

Hello everyone, I was posting this on reddit, but they did not allow my last post which was this, so here it is: Momo came from a place of mistreatment, he ate poorly his whole life (no vegetables, bad quality hay only), he lived his whole life in a tiny cage and was under vitamin c human...

Hi, I’m new here and just got two young boars last Sunday. I have a 2 x 5 c&c cage for them. It has 3 hideaways, a snuggle sack, tunnel and hay box. I have two water bottles for them and give them fresh hay, pellets and a mixture of veggies. They’ve been eating well but never come out of their...

Myself and my partner are relatively new guinea pig owners. We own a neutered boar (6-8 months old)and 2 spayed sows. (18 months old) for about 4 months now. We really wanted a 4th guinea pig to round out the herd. So today we adopted another boar. We put them in the same room but not the same...

I will be getting a third boar in a week or two. He's a senior piggie I'm taking in because his brother died about a year ago, and his owners can't give him the attention he needs. I already have two boars that get along okay, but aren't super good friends. The plan is to place their cages flush...

For some context: this is my 1yo male guinea pig who I just rehomed 3 weeks ago with his brother! In the video I was holding him and petting him and he was making these noises? Not sure if they’re happy or annoyed squeaks? I think annoyed? He seemed to squeak specifically when I petted his back...

Hi, I have recently adopted a cute little piggy, called Viktor, he's a boar and around a year old, and I have had him for 2 weeks now. He is very nervous around people, though very confident when it comes to hand feeding, he will bolt around the cage and buck (sometimes he may chatter his teeth...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the guinea pig world, and only got my piggies this weekend. They're two boars, called Copper and Butterbean (Butters for short), and they're new both to us and to each other - so a big change for everyone. Copper had another cage mate who unfortunately passed away, and...

Since roughly around yesterday 10am, I have been bonding my Harvey (aprox a year) with a new baby pig (aprox 1 month) Milton, I didn’t read up enough and thought washing Harvey’s blankets and wiping down a bit would be enough to put Milton in his cage, stupid now that I know. They were NOT...

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...

This is Sunny, he's 11 months old and he might be getting a little brother tomorrow! I've read all the info in the forum about bonding two boars. I've purposely waited until Sunny's hormones were a bit more stable until introducing a new friend, to minimize fighting. Personality wise, Sunny is...
