Junior Guinea Pig
Hi GPF gang!
I was supposed to have gotten a pair of bonded boars from a rescue last week but it fell through. Now I have the chance to rehome from a small private (checked) rescue 2 Abyssinian bonded boys that are just over a year old, or some babies.
Now, usually my go to for rehoming would be adult animals, BUT I’m only seeing boars seeking homes far more than sows, and as a first time piggy parent who will be keeping them indoors, I’m not sure if I should actually get females?
The baby ones are of course very cute and have really lovely markings, and are smooth coated.
I’ve read the info regarding the different characteristics of boys vs girls, but ive also seen many piggy owners on social media who have very affectionate and bold sows.
I’d really appreciate anyone sharing their experiences of keeping babies vs adults and personal experiences of sows vs boars, thank you!
