Hi. 
p
I have not been on for a good while but i have recently adopted a 4 month old boy piggy called Huxley x)
I lost my last boar whilst under anaesthetic while he was getting castrated so i could get a girlfriend for him. Whilst i realise i was very unlucky and although it is a risk it has put me off getting Huxley done so i can get him a chum. :...
After speaking to a few Pig Savvy people at the rescue place, going online 8 and my vet, it would seem the best idea (because he is young still) to get a 6-8 week old baby boar and introduce them on neutral turf. The main factors seem to be to make sure the cage is huge and let there be a couple of igloo's and huts in there as well as food bowls and water bottles and see how it goes......?/
The rescue have agreed to help with the intros as they have a few boys ready in about 3 weeks time.
What's the general view about this from you guys?
I would greatly apprieate your knowledge and experience i this matter
Many thanks
