Junior Guinea Pig
Since the unexpected arrival of our (confirmed boar) baby last week to my new sow/resident neutered boar pairing (the baby is not his) I will have to rethink my setup. In the hutch above I have a very happily bonded husboar and sow who I will likely need to put Mum in with to prevent anymore unwanted babies in a few weeks. Since my baby has been living with his stepdad since birth and they have a good relationship I plan to continue their bond for as long as it hopefully continues. Long term, baby will need to be neutered as he will eventually become the resident husboar since my two males are in their twilight years.
My concern is that adding my new Mum to the already bonded mix will upset the bond. The husboar is incredibly quiet and sweet and his girlfriend is clearly in charge but also really loving with him. Have other people had success adding a second sow to the pair? My hutch is five foot so just about spacious enough although not ideal. They have access to a bigger run every other day too.
