I have 2 lovely sows, Catherine & Ruby (mother and daughter) who have shared a hutch since I had them. Catherine recently gave birth to a litter of 5 (she was pregnant when I got her), and I now have an additional 3 boars and 2 sows. I am going to keep the smallest boar (Pip) :smitten:, the other mini-pigs have been paired up and I already have loving homes waiting for them. I am planning on getting Pip neutered once he is old enough, but I am concerned about the best way to house the three of them in the interim period. :-\
I have a separate hutch to put the boars in already, so should I keep Pip in there until after he is neutered, and take my chances that the three of them will get on when re-introduced? Or should I get some sort of separating thing to put in the large hutch, so they can be close together, but not obviously close enough mate... I definatley don't want Catherine or Ruby to get pregnant, but I want all my piggies to stay friends!
Sorry about the waffling! x8) Hope I've made some sort of sense!
Thanks, Michelle x
