Sow And Bonded Boars

[Julesie]

So I have a question regarding once I put Sakurai in the room with her husboar and my bonded boars. The set up will be Romano and Matthew on top of two tables for a large cage with Sakurai and Ryou at the bottom.

My only question is, when I take her out and stand up, won't they see her and possibly go nuts? How do people with bonded boars and a husboar and sow in the same room do it? I just definitely don't want to make any mistakes as Romano and Matthew are extremely close, constantly cuddled up together and I'd hate to accidentally cause a fallout (though Matthew has lived with girls before so I don't know if he will have much of a problem..?)

Well I once had a male and when I came back from a friends house after cudling a girl HE WENT NUTS !

 

[Julesie]

Yeah thats why I won't do that. xD;

I just want to know how it goes about picking the girlie up. Will seeing her annoy them or will it be okay.

You will be OK as long as you remember to cuddle her etc always after the boys or have a girlie cuddle pullover and lap throw...

 

[Julesie]

Yeah I will do that. =) She's sitting in the crook of my neck at the moment.

So it will be okay just picking her up and them seeing her? =)

As long as you don't hold her against the grids, they should be fine. Acute vision of guinea pigs is only about 1-2 feet, beyond that they react to sudden movements.

It's worked for other people.

We have 7 boars and 1 neutered boar and 3 sows all in the same room. As Wiebke says, feed, clean and floor time with the boars first and it shouldn't be a problem. It works for us..

Thank you all so much. That's put my mind at ease.
