Hi Guinea folk!
I wanted to thank you all for your advice and sharing your personal experiences.
I have now come to a final decision; *drum roll* The 2 bonded adult boars!
The lady who runs her small rescue set up has sent me some more updates and pics of them and I’m already smitten! They’re handled regularly and used to nail trims, so for a first time owner I think this is the best decision.
I’d love your opinion and constructive feedback regarding set-up;
I have a Midwest enclosure and have added a plastic tray (the storage ones you put under beds) which is almost the same size as the enclosure itself. It will be used as their “hay tray”. I calculated and it’s 3 square meters - which I realise is just short of the most ideal size for 2 boars, but once acclimatised they will get plenty of “roaming time”. Also originally I had a set up in the spare room which was bigger but in the current weather the upstairs room is far too hot atm, so they’ll be in the cooler living room. Btw I’ve since added a 2nd water bottle.
Question: should I get rid of the large wooden hide (fits 2) for now?
