TrevsHere
New Born Pup
Hi everyone,
I didn’t intended on ending up a Guinea slave but here I am. Also finding myself worrying about everything. So I rescued a Boar from someone that was just constantly using him for breeding. He was living alone in a small hutch uncovered all year round in a garden. The hutch floor was full of holes. He was wet on the front underneath from his own pee. The wood shavings were solid with poo and wee. He didn’t have regular veggies or water and was being fed the pic and mix style food.
I brought him home with the hutch he was in as I had nothing else and put him in the garden. This was on Friday. Since then I’ve brought him an indoor cage, proper nuggets and some toys ect. Given him a new name and Trev now lives with us in the front room. He’s very nervous (I know this is to be expected). He is very tame and not skittish. I’ve no idea how old he is.
When he first came to me he wasn’t pooping but this was sorted with fresh veggies and constant access to fresh water. I have been advised he needs to stay as a lone pig due to how he’s been treated and that boars are hard to bond. I’m struggling with this idea. Financially I am not in the position to be getting another and ending up with two separate pigs if they don’t bond. I don’t have a rescue local to me to have him bonded either.
I was watching a few YouTube videos about Guinea pigs and when he heard them making noise he started wheeking. I just want to do the best by him and would appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance.
