I adopted my boys as babies back in June and they are now 11 months old. It’s amazing how much their individual personalities have come out now and how they differ so much even though they’re brothers.

Finn is a thinker. He never dives into anything and likes to keep his emotions (for the most part) under wraps. He will jump on your hand to be moved to the play pen and then again to be brought back to the cage and fully trusts me, but if you try and stop to cuddle him he will nip you to remind you to stick to the plan!

Oggie on the other hand is just perpetually thrilled with life. He will leap into your arms and pancake flat with legs sticking out of the back and will then purr for England and roll over and demand rough scratches. He’s always purring and rumbling and popcorning and talking. He’s also clumsy whereas his brother is more elegant 😂

Their personalities have swapped back and forth a bit, especially in the first couple of months, but now they have blossomed into themselves and have stopped annoying each other too. They sleep together and look for each other when one is somewhere else. It’s been my first experience with a boy pair (and a baby boy pair to boot) but I’ve loved watching them turn into big happy lads 🙂

(Not even sure why I posted this, but I guess I just wanted to be a proud mama for a second 😂)
 
Sounds like you have a wonderful pair of boys and have brought them along really well!
 
Lovely to read a lovely post about happy settled piggies, it does make us all feel happy when so many forum posts are sad!
Can you share some pigtures? We all love happy piggy photos :) x
 
Aw, this is so nice to read! Boar pairs often get a bad press and it’s such a shame. You must be so proud your little men have turn into such a gorgeous pair, a lot of this is down to you.
My two boar brothers have totally different characters too, both love a cuddle, Ted is very greedy and boisterous and Bill is a well mannered Gentleman apart from the odd hump who loves nothing better than to curl up on my knee
 
:wub: They sound like lovely characters! And you’ve obviously done something right. :agr: About boar pairs having a bad rep. I got boars as my first piggies and absolutely love them. They both enjoy a cuddle and will always come to the side of the cage for a head (or neck) scratch.

Of course we’d love some photos as well. You can always start a thread just for them 😁
 
Aww, thank you everyone :luv: I will have to take some pigtures of them now that they are bigger (since mostly I’m too busy running around cleaning them out, cutting up veg and yelling up the stairs ‘I’m doing it, I’m doing it,’ at them as they wheek :)) )
 
Okay, I took some photos/video clips (I don’t know what I’m doing 😂) of the boys having dinner AKA The Best Time of the Day

(Oggie is the white one, Finn is the brown)
