New Born Pup
So after intending to get 3 females, I now have 10 pigs and I'm now in a dilemma about what to do with them...
I have my original 3, two females and one male, who is currently on his own. Then we have the 7 babies, who appear to be 5 males and 2 females. I have been hoping to keep them all but 6 males is a lot I know someone who would provide a fantastic home and recently lost a male, leaving her boar alone. So I said if I had an odd number of males, she could have one.
The prospect of 4 enclosures is a lot, possible and I would make it work, but still, it is a lot... so I'm now considering whether to let her have a male, leaving me with 5. I could neuter dad, so he could go in with the females, then have two separate enclosures for 2 pairs of boars. I don't know if it is fair to put dad through neutering for that reason though? Or is it best to just deal with the 4 enclosures? Any advice/opinions would be much appreciated.
