piggiesforever

I have two boars one of neutering age and one who is still too young, should i wait and take them together or do one now and one later? Just wondered if boars sensed whether others were intact and whether it would upset the dynamics of relationship
 
I would aim to do both at the same time, I think they like the company during a very stressful time at the vets!

I've had 4 piggies neutured. The first went on his own because the others were too young. He developed a huge absess afterwards (recovered after antibiotics). The next two went in together and had no problems. The forth went on his own as the vet ran out ot time to do him on the previous occasion. He died - didn't come round from the anesthetic. I always wondered if the first and forth had gone in with a buddy would they have got less stressed and had a better outcome.
