Male Piggies

[VickieD]

Hi
Sorry if I want 3 pigs and they have 3 males already living together if I bring them home should they live in harmony?

I'm just getting mixed reports reading forums that they should be in groups yet males can fight?

Thanks
Vickie

Personally. I wouldn't keep 3 boars together if you are new to keeping guinea pigs.

Boar trios are the least stable in terms of bonding. You would need a very large amount of space and for a new keeper, I wouldn't recommend it. Even as an experienced keeper I wouldn't risk a boar trio personally.

yes - pairs can work out if you get a well bonded pair.

Can I ask what would happen to the other boy if you took the two?
