Neutering Boars........

[rosie and bramble]

I have 3 baby boars living together at the minute and they are around 5/6 weeks. Is it worth taking the biggest boar out and having him neutered when big enough to live with his mother and sister again or leave them together and see if they will always live together ? don't really want to leave it in case all 3 fall out and then i have 3 singles ?

Hi! By the time your boys are big enough to be neutered, the hormones have kicked in and you will see which two boys get on best. I would take the harmony between the two remaining boys as my priority for any decision. It is not always the biggest boy who is the most dominant or disruptive.

In my lot, the biggest dominant boar, Benji (8mths), is scared of the other one, Snoopy, who is about 6 weeks younger and much smaller in size. Snoopy is extremely aggressive and will chatter his teeth and attack Benji if I was to put them together, but aside from the annoying regular humping of everyone, Benji will never attack anyone or show aggression, except to the Snoopy.
Snoopy had 2 boys with his gf and one of them was rumblestrutting in his 1st few days! lol He has been quite dominant to everyone except his brother and will occasionally get into scraps with Snoopy or the other boar, Token, despite being only 1.5mths old!
