Hello,
Unfortunately one of my boars passed yesterday. We had spent quite a while treating his illnesses and once he got over one, he then got another! We’re going to miss him terribly but at least he’s no longer suffering.
I am now looking for a friend for my youngest.
For context I originally had 2 boars, who were bonded brothers. When Gary died I went to a Guinea pig rescue to get Monty as a companion for my older boar Maguire. Now that Maguire has passed I am looking for a friend for Monty. Monty is 11 months old and a bit of a nervous pig.
I have been in contact with every rescue in my area, I have looked on here at the suggested rescues too. The only boar that might be suitable is one that is 5 months.
This particular rescue hasn’t offered much information. I’ve asked about the bonding process and no response. All they will tell me is they have 1 boar that’s 5 months old.
My questions are 1. Is 5 months too old to bond, particularly as Monty isn’t used to being the dominant pig.
2. If so, what do I do? Really struggling to find a suitable match for my little piggy.
Thanks in advance, Jem.
