9 month old Bertie looks different to previous boar. Is this normal? I wondered whether it's cauliflower willy?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hi
He is definitely a boar but his penis is not quite fully retracted.

Yes I think Hector has a prominent willy too, it’s not a cauliflower willy, that would be all frilly around the end and it’s not

Why didn’t you contact me, if you were worried?

Bertie is very well and happy, he's bonded beautifully with my solo sow, I guess I didn't think checking something like this was serious enough to run by you at the curious stage. I adopted a piggy this year from Hazelcroft who was diagnosed with cancer relatively soon after and I was in touch with Sarah privately a lot, as I would with you if there was anything serious. Sorry if that wasn't the right thing to do.
I gave Bertie and Shadow separate plates and beds but they're doing things together, it's gone really well.

Aww, they look very happy together! Thank you so much for giving the little guy such a lovely home.
I do prefer any concerns to be made to me, as we give full rescue support to all guinea pigs, who are rehomed by us. I do realise that it was for all the right reasons, that you didn't though. I was just a bit confused that Wiebke was confirming the gender of Bertie, as he's most definitely a boy!
