At what age...

At what age can you get a piggie neutered? Or is it at what weight?

My Cocoa is going to be 3 weeks old on the 15th and I just want to know how long I will have to have him seperated before he can be neutered! I don't want him to be sad.

And then is it three weeks after the surgury that they can be reunited?

Re: At what age...

Most vets won't neuter til the boars are around 6 months old. Yes, it's best to wait 3 weeks after surgery to put him with a sow. That way all the sperm will be dead by then.

Ly&Pigs you said, "Most vets won't neuter til the boars are around 6 months old".

Is it best/safest to wait that long? Or if my vet will do it sooner should I have it done sooner?
