Hello everyone,
Looking for some advice. I always had two boar piggies when growing up and never had trouble with fighting and we went through quite a few pairs.
However I recently got three boars for my three children, we got them when they were just tiny about three months ago and they just keep fighting and humping.
I was hoping it was just a teenage phase but one guinea was so covered in scabs from fighting I just took him to vets as thought it must be mites and vet told me it was all caused from fighting and I needed to separate them and castrate!
Does anyone have any experience of castration? She said it might not even stop the fighting and it costs £50 per piggy so am looking at £150 for something that might not work and has risks associated with the GA.
Do you think they will grow out of fighting or would it be kinder to get a second hutch and keep the bullied one on his own?
