Hi I'm new to this site, we've had our 3 boys for a few days now, they are slowly warming to us. Just wondering does anyone else has 3 boys together and how do they get on? I've read that any more than 2 and they will fight each other however the lady at Pets at Home assured us that as a trio there's a lot less chance of this happening. They have got plenty of space in a c&c cage and 4 different hiding places.

Also how often should I give them vegetables, so far I've given enough for a handful for each of them, twice a day, but I'm worried I'm not given them enough or maybe too much. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks :-)

A Trio can work, you'll have to wait and see. Sadly pets at home seem adamant that Boars can live in Trio's but it's certainly not as common as a pair of boars living happily together.

Space is your best friend, make sure everyone has a time out area if they need to get away from the other two, scatter feed as well so no one can stop the others from eating.

One handful of veg twice a day sounds fine. My girls get a bowlful of mixed sliced veg once a day and do fine on it.

A hand full is all l give , along with unlimered hey particulay Thimathy.

l find that to much veg is not benificial in the long term!

whilst they may prefer it , there teeth and digestion may suffer in the long
term .
Sometimes when there poos are a little soft , like they were today, l only gave them
a 1 qurter inch peice of carrot , a small peice of Romain, and a tiny cherry tomato .

Hi and welcome!

Sadly it isn't all that common for a boar trio to be succsessful, but it can happen- so I wish you all the luck with that! Also, are they defently all male? As I have heard horror stories here!

I give mine a little bowl each twiceca day of veg and I've had no problems :-)

Welcome to the forums Sounds like you're giving a good amount of veg for your piggies. You could also try kale (not too much as is high in calcium), broccoli and bell peppers - peppers have lots of vit c. in them
How old are your little boars? If they're only young still, keep an eye out for fallings-out between them as they mature! It seems like you've given them loads of space and hideys though, which will help keep them amiable with each other :p Pairs usually work best, but with the right space and mix of personalities things could just as well work out fine for your new trio ^-^
Have a good browse around the forum, there's loads of advice for settling your new fur-kids in!
