Guinea Pig Shuffle!

[chocdonuty]

I currently have 3 guinea pigs all about 7 months, bubble,(m), always lived on his own, lovely and placid
Honey (f) quite energetic and rather vocal since losing her cage mate a few weeks back
Squeak (m) bit of a live wire and the dominate one of the males.
The boys live together and honey on her own.
I was going to get another female friend for honey but am unsure if the logistics as bubble seems to come out of his shell on his own and does seem a bit bullied at times :/ no blood but still. Don't know if he'd be better alone or with a younger piggy.
I have 3 large cages so in theory could have 3 separate cages with or without new pig friends for each!
I could get one boy neutered and he has a girlfriend and the other a new friend, just not sure what the best option would be?

The RSPCA Walsall, which is your closest piggy savvy rescue, offers either cross gender dating or boar to boar baby dating, but no full boar-boar dating.

You could either think about having both boars neutered so one can live with Honey and the other then can date his own lady. Cross gender bondings, once initial bonding has happened, are the most stable of them all. Unfortunately, our area is not very good for boar dating, but we have got several good neutering vets.

We have got several good neutering vets in our region; you could contact Hopper Haven as to which vet they are using. They used to run a rescue (my Llewelyn was adopted from there as a neutered boar in 2007), so that would likley be your best bet. These days, they run only as a sanctuary. Alternatively, you could use our vet locator.
