Hi all I'm after a bit of advice.
Snowy one of my boars is just over 3 years old, lives in a large hutch with his pal Herbie, in our shed with the other piggies. The boys are housed on a thick layer of newspaper and lots of hay. A few days ago I thought Snowy was coming down with a cold because his eyes looked a bit watery and his nose a bit runny. I have been keeping a close eye on him and he seems fine in himself, eating and drinking well and coming up to the bars of the cage to see me when I go into the shed. The cold didn't really develop into anything, his nose is now clear but his eyes still look watery - a bit like when you've been sitting in a draft.
I haven't changed the boys bedding, food etc. and they haven't been outside whilst it's been damp and wet. Their cage is well away from any drafts so I'm a bit stumped. Everyone else appears fit and well. Any ideas?
