Should I?

[RodentCuddles]

I have gotten a new little boy who is living fine so far with my big boys.

1. I had gotten my big boys neutered, should I get little Ronnie neutered when he is old enough to be?
2. Will it be okay if he is away from them for a couple of days?
3. If I don't get him neutered will he get a grease gland ?

I wouldn't neuter him, it's risky and there is no real need to, except that he won't get impaction and such.

[RodentCuddles]

I would like to get him Neutered, but what I would really like to know is if it be okay if he is away from them for a couple of days?

[PigPandemonium]

You would have to re-introduce them most likely. Though I still would say not to neuter him, it's unnecessary and risks your pig's life.

Ditto to PigPandemonium.
I've always believed that neutering should only be left to certain circumstances. Example a male guinea pig absolutely won't get along with other males but will get along with females.

Neutering a guinea pig isn't like neutering a male dog. For a small animal it is a very risky procedure and it's not like the guinea pig is roaming around on a daily basis around random other guinea pigs like a dog does.

@RodentCuddles , he's got a grease gland, and always will have. Neutering has nothing to do with the grease gland. Some pigs' glands get greasy and yucky on a regular basis, others' dont.

If you don't have any females, why are you getting him neutered?

[RodentCuddles]

I do Have one girl, hopefully will be getting her a friend. But I was thinking just in case my little brother decide Trixie needed to play with Ronnie and I really do not want to get Trixie pregnant. But as I don't want to put little Ronnie in harms way or upset him, Rex and Bubbles I will just leave it.

[RodentCuddles]

I don't intend on Trixie ever meeting the boys. (:

[MrWhistles]

Is it possible you could educate your little brother as to why Ronnie or any of the other males shouldn't be with Trixie?
Also, how old is your little brother? I firmly believe in children being under close supervision when handling animals.
