Hi newbie here

[SheffCavyRescue]

Hi all, I've just joined the forum.

I run a small scale guinea pig rescue in South Yorkshire, UK.

I have 2 boars of my own who are living seperately now after falling out with each other. One of them is 6 years old, the other 7 months old.

I currently have 4 rescue pigs looking for homes and another arriving tommorrow.

I house all piggies in either C+C grids or Nero4's. And recommend good cage sizes (at least 4x2) to potential owners.

I look forward to chatting with you all,

Nic

First is a link to Kleenmama's hayloft it is a great site to get hay off of and from what I have heard it is absulutely amazing and cheap. Then is a link to a page of links that might help you out if you haven't seen them. Anyway I hope you are enjoying the forum and if you have any questions I will be happy to answer them.

They were arguing for weeks, rumblestrutting, head lifting etc, then one evening Gus the younger one went for Bailey and he got a nip on his shoulder that drew blood so they were seperated then and I don't think they'd go back together now.

I feel really bad that they're on their own now. I've currently got a really laid back rescue boar called Frank that i might try to bond with Bailey. And Gus, I haven't decided yet. I wanted to get him neutered and find a sow for him but my hubby isn't keen on the idea of putting him through a GA.
