Cattittude
New Born Pup
Hi, there is a wee male boar that recently lost his cage mate so he is living alone. The owner says she can’t give him the time he needs etc etc. I feel so bad for him.
I have two 8month old piggies that have been together since I got them. Gizmo and Keef, my only other post here was when I introduced myself. I have them both in a 12sq foot enclosure with two doors leading to a sectioned off part of my living room. This is their running about space. I am thinking that I might be able to section off a part of the extra space and make a new enclosure next to my pair. They would be able to see each other through the bars. I know it’s not wise to put him in with them or try to have a trio. He would have a door to the extra space, which I would make bigger, and I would let him roam around at separate times from the pair.
I'm still thinking this through but I don’t know if it’s wise?
I feel really sad about this wee piggie, I don’t think the owner has bothered to get him a new friend or wants to get another piggy, although I haven’t asked yet. I’ve not spoken to the person yet, I only asked if they still needed a home for him.
I'm just not sure if Gizmo and Keef will like the fact that he will have a home on the extra area they have for roaming. It would be joined to their enclosure and in that territory. I don’t have room in my living room to put a new enclosure without going into this space. I could put him above them but then I’d probably need to get him a new friend to live with and there are no rescues near me. Plus I would need to quarantine him but there isnt room anywhere else in my house in order to do that.
I'm in two minds, it’s a shame for him. Do I or don’t I?
