(This is not about wanting to breed, breeding talk is not allowed on this forum due to risks and a large amount of guinea pigs in rescues already.)
The guinea pig rescue we were planning to go through have no pigs that are suitable for us and there is no timeline available so I am willing to look into other avenues.
There is a person on gumtree who is selling babies, so I took a shot and sent them a message about older boars and they have a couple that are kept on their own or with woman for breeding.
What I am wondering is will the fact he has been bred change him, I have a somewhat timid 4 and a 1/2 year old and don't want him to be put with a rowdy boar. I understand it is not likely they will be anything different, I do not have any sows nor do I plan to have any sows. And if anything I think it would be good to get a pig out of such situation.
I am just wondering if there are any risks to him being just a breeding boar, apart from potential health conditions and lack of socialization.
