As you know I had a lone boar, Spice die on Tuesday, however he was in the same cage as my other three boars (i split off the upstairs) One of which was Spice's brother blaze.

How do I, while still devestated help Blaze and the furballs come to terms with the loss of spice. and how do I deal with the teethchattering and wheeking mix of Blaze, who is looking for Spice i believe
 
Apart from cuddling and generally being there for Blaze, I do not think there is much else you can do. I believe that Piggies are like us humans and grieve in different ways. I'm sure that he'll be ok but just give him time to grieve for his brother in his own way xx
 
Sorry to hear that your piggies are missing Spice too. Have you cleaned the cage out? It might still have his scent and they're still looking for him? Just a thought.

My Harry was in with 3 sows (he was neutered) and they're not talking to each other since he's gone, so I have got another rescue neutered boar coming at the weekend, I hope they all like him. It's more difficult with your boys though isn't it? I guess they'll get over it in time, I normally let mine say goodbye if the pig has died at the vets or away from the group, I think this helps them realise what has happened.

Sending you huge hugs

i think all you can do is give him as much attention and as many cuddles as you can. iknow how hhorrible it is to see himm missing him brother so much, but he will eventually get used to it.

i am so sorry helen x
