C&c Ideas Wanted For 3 Sows And A Separate Boar

[Kerrie74]

I currently have a problem, we had to have one of our boars pts on Sunday (my favourite boar too!) so now we have a single boar who is above three sows. The problem I'm having is I don't have much floor space at all so @Wiebke suggested that I make a thread to see if someone had any good ideas or if they had pics of their own cages.

They are currently in two 2x5 C&C cages atm.

I seriously do not want to adopt any more guinea pigs as this is the second we've lost this year and it's horrible, I had a very close bond to Sheamus who was the one we had to pts on Sunday.

This is a pic of their cage

Would you consider neutering the boar so he can live with them?

No, I don't trust the vets near to where I live after what happened to my last two guinea pigs. Plus he's not guaranteed to get on with the sows as two of them are bossy little girls.

I drew this for another thread, perhaps you could build something similar. Adjust the width of the cage to the size you want.

Edit to add: Looks like it will work well with your existing cage. You'll just need to make the loft. You'll also need something to block the boar from jumping out his loft into the girls' cage.

Oh wow that's really good! thank you @lissie I'll go and have a good look at it now
