A trio of boars!

[sophiew (EAGPR)]

I usually recommend against having boars in a trio, by the boar rule - two's company, three's a crowd! But I've got a baby boar Kyle who sadly lost his friend and has been lonely, and no single boars at mine at the moment, so I took a chance yesterday and put him out in the run with Zippy and Sirius Black. These two have lived in a trio before quite happily, a combination of Zippy being laid-back and un-boar like, and Sirius being a bit of an invalid. Luckily they were ok with him, and went back into their big hutch with him quite happily overnight!

Nice to know it works sometimes! I know I was risking ending up with 3 single boars but I know Zippy and Sirius so well, I wouldn't have tried it with any others of my bonded boar pairs.

And that makes two successful trios.

I've been keeping an eye on my three since I've been warned by Wendi at Thistle Cavies that three can suddenly blow up one day. In theory, since mine won't go through adolescence again, there's a less likely chance than a baby being the third since Koda's just coming out of adolescence.
