We have 5 sows and a baby entire boar (11 weeks, booked for castration in 2 weeks time). He is in his own section of the run but at some point today he has got in with the girls!! He could have been in there 4-5 hours!

How likely is it that I will now have 5 pregnant sows?! Is there a morning after pill for guinea pigs?!

Don’t know what to do!

Update OP?

UPDATE:

It turns out there is a morning after pill for guineas!! well, a 3 part injection anyway! After several chats with a specialist vet, considering their ages, we decided this was the best course of treatment. All 5 girls have just had their last jab and have had no ill effects so fingers crossed we are in the clear. will obviously keep and eye on them just in case.

The randy bugger who caused all this is not so randy anymore! He was castrated last week and is now in quarantine for a further 4 weeks before he can be put in with his ladies. He has calmed down massively since the op but I'm keeping him inside a puppy crate so he's enclosed on all sides, just in case!!

Thank you for the advice!

Thanks for the update! I’m sure in time he is going to be a very happy boat with that many ladies.

I don't know. We had a neutered boar kept with a larger sow and she bossed the hell out of him....
