I am going to be given a 2 year old boar from a friend who has not been neutered and has recently lost his room mate. Is it best to get him neutered and introduce a female or get a 5 week old baby boy t keep him company? Thanks I am new to all of this and so do not have much idea
 
It all depends on him to be honest. If he is a laid abck piggie then he should be fine with a young boar. Their will be some rumbling untill the little boar realises he is top dog. If you get him neutered (i'd do this with any boar i had so if they loose their cage mate they can go with females without waiting) he will need to be on his own for 4 weeks after op, so he might get lonely. xx
 
thanks - maybe a baby would be better - just need to find 5 week baby in kent now, preferably rescue
 
good luck in the search. I got boars in January and got the neautered. They can now play with my sows which is great. Also means when one dies the other will never need to be lonely. Hopefully you'll find a little boar for him very soon. Can you get to a centre near you? You could take him along and he can choose his own friend. xx
