Hello,
I was here a while ago after adopting two brothers who fell out. We’ve moved to a much bigger home and hope to build bigger cages and find at least one boar friend, if not two. They will still be in adjacent cages, especially if one remains alone.
I’ve email three local rescues but there are no singles available on their websites. The RSPCA has some single boars but they only allow pairings with females - they are neutered. Is this a typical policy?
I’m too scared to neuter our boars, to house with females, due to the risks involved. And I’m hoping to adopt from a rescue and not buy from a shop or breeder but it’s harder to find single boars this way.
Another issue I’ve seen is bedding restrictions on pine shavings. We go with the kiln dried shavings as advised by many but one rescue won’t allow this, newspaper is preferred, or more expensive options. I want to try fleece so have ordered some to try, but was considering pine shavings for their “toilet area”.
