Recently lost my lovely neutered boar piggy who was 6.5 to a terrible end.
I was looking online but not for a new pet and found someone looking to rehome a guinea pig with her two babies due to terrible circumstances.
I’m a vet student so I was busy at university but my parents picked them up for me (a bit further away than they expected at almost 140 miles round trip!).
In the event of them both being boys as I already have sows, I had spoken to another vet student who has boars and would like another. Well, one week later and I’ve fallen in love with not only mummy pig but her two MALE babies!
AIBU to keep my two original sows, mummy pig and 2 baby boars making a total of 5?
I’ve had pigs my whole life and they’re my whole world but 5 is a new one for me (as an adult). My girls currently have a 2.5 metre cage and the boys wouldn’t go without.
What do you think?
My mam’s currently making noises about rehoming one and neutering the other but he’d have to be isolated for 5 months (before surgery and during recovery) so surely it’s best just to keep them both intact
Massively outing if anyone recognised me but oh well!
