A friend has asked me if I could look after her two sows for a couple of weeks. They are in a commercial cage which would have to be put in my shed....where my two 18 month old boys live....and this is where my issue lies. I know that boars have to be kept out of sight and smell of pheromones. I have also seen on guides on here that an opaque divider higher and wider than the cage is advised if boars and sows have to be in the same space. My question is, if I lay a sheet of plastic and/or blanket on the roof of my boys hutch, put the sow cage on top of the blanket and hutch and then raise the plastic/blanket over the front of the sow cage and clip it to the front (and possibly sides) of the cage (leaving the top of the cage open to air), is that enough to keep the smell of pheromones from falling on my boys too much? I have never kept sows so I don’t know a massive amount about them and how much my boys are going to smell them. It may just be easier to say I can’t help, but I’d like to investigate if there is a way first.
