Teenage Guinea Pig
I have been trying to bond Pickle (my rescued boar) with a group of 2 boys and 2 girls, but not having much success, the two boys are not accepting him at all and keep ganging up on him, (it's heartbreaking to watch 8...) I've only been able to put them together for a max of 2 hours, supervised with big, thick gloves on, then all hell breaks loose!
I have a single boar Spike, who has always lived on his own and he seems very happy in his own space. I'm going to try and bond Pickle with Spike this weekend but I have a feeling it will not work. Spike can be a little whatsit now and then. (As the name suggests!)
As I dont want to have Pickle on his own as he was so excited about meeting the new piggies and he was trying to be friendly, so I think he will be lonely on his own. What should I do?
I don't really want to get another sow or boar, could I take one of the girls out of the group of 4 or will that disrupt them?
If thats not an option then I will have to get another gp, whats best a sow or boar?
Thanks for any comments, poor Pickle has been through enough and I just want him to be happy! Sorry to waffle on!
