My RIP Tribe boars:
Llewelyn 'Lugh&Belenus' (the Celtic gods of Light and Fire) (b. 2006, adopted from defunct Hopper Haven rescue Oct 2007, RIP Jan 2011)
Llewi was rescued in bad state and with half an ear missing from a pen he shared with chickens, rabbits and other guinea pigs at a wildlife place in Midwales. He kept his rescue name; hence the Welsh name theme with my Tribe piggies!
After the death of his beloved older lady Dizzy he became my very competent Tribe founding patriarch (2009-2011)

Hywel 'Eminent' (b. 2009, adopted Feb 2011 from defunct Cheylesmore GPR, RIP Sept 2016)
He was Llewelyn's charismatic successor (2011-2014) and leader of the long-haired half of the Tribe after the split (2014-16);
Hywel was a very dominant boar who was surrendered to rescue because he bullied every boy he was introduced to but was clearly unhappy in a hutch all of his own. Ruling a harem of up to 13 wives for the following 5 1/2 years was decidedly more to his liking!

Terfel 'Oak Prince' (b. 2010, adopted fom defunct RNPG Welfare Rugby July 2011, RIP May 2015)
The gentle, quiet and unassuming master diplomat who kept this formidable cataract wives under control without them noticing (2011-15) - although they were the ones who faced off any danger with him hiding behind them!
Terfel was rescued in bad state from a shed full of neglected, fighting boars.

Bryn Oscar (The Name Deaf) (b. 2007, adopted Aug 2012 from BARC, RIP Sept 2013)
The poor old widowed and then stuck in rescue 'gent' turned out to be a first rate pirate who cut a swathe through the retired Tribe ladies.
He even looked like a pirate with one eye having a pale lid and the other one a dark one in the style of Captain Jack Sparrow, which gave him a very unique look. Old age was puffing rather badly by the time it finally caught up with him!

Maelog 'Battle Prince', previous name Mallow (b. 2010, fostered Feb-July and then adopted from TEAS Sept 2013, RIP Feb 2017)
A fallen-out companion to a dental TEAS resident, who was allowed to think he was the leader of the ginger half of the Tribe after the split and after the death of wife Rhosyn/Rosa, another TEAS resident (2014-17). The distinguished George Clooney among my husboars.

Bedo 'Little Splendid Lord' (b. 2012, adopted Feb 2014 from The Potteries, RIP July 2018)
The perfect family man and nursery nurse for my temporary TEAS fosters and my adopted Triplets (2014-18).
He and his fallen-out companion were found in a cardboard box on Cannock Chase open park land on a cold October morning. His great looks were a real surprise when I turned up with the three top sows in tow for rescue dating; he was as beautiful inside as outside.
When a bonding of a TEAS foster sow pair into the group failed shortly afterwards, Bedo fell hard for one of the new sows (a ginger aby) and was given the choice wich sows he wanted to live with. Newly bereaved Maelog then took over the abandoned group from him while Bedo faced the challenge of looking after the lively TEAS baby triplets and making his patchwork family work.

Carwyn 'Blessed Love' (b. 2012, adopted May 2015 from North East Guinea Pig Rescue, RIP Oct 2018)
My very vocal Marshmallow Lord of his Liquorice Allsorts wives (2015-18) after spending 3 miserable years in a one foot square neglect breeder box. The disfigured lip is a legacy from that time.
Carwyn had to learn how to run from his adored wifelet Heini who he was paired up with after being a caring companion to ca. 8 years old lady Ffraid in her last weeks. He has definitely made up in the second half of his life on what he has missed out during the first half, and then some!

Nosgan 'Nightsong' (b. 2014, adopted Sept 2016 privately with permission of the RSPCA Walsall, RIP May 2019)
He was an emergency RSPCA intake at a time the rescue was full to bursting, so little is known about his background. Nosgan came here when he failed to bond with either of the sow groups of his previous owner after the death of his boarmate.
The skittish and grumpy neutered boar (previous name Victor 'I can't believe it' Meldrew) turned out to prefer a boarmate to any sow! Shy lurker Nosgan found lasting happiness with his little sidekick, cheeky chappy Nye.
Since Nosgan wasn't into ladies, the pair was able to peacefully live first next door to spayed Nesta and then mother and daughter pair Hyfryd and Hirael.
