I had a pair of boars Percy and Piglet that have been living together for the past 3 years. Percy is 3, Piglet is almost 7. Last year I adopted two boars who were both about a year old. I've been keeping them in separate cages in separate rooms, but I moved 6weeks ago and put both cages in...

Hi! My nearly 6yr old boar Piglet just had surgery to remove a tumor on Monday, and he is way underweight. My other 3 boars weigh between 1275-1385 grams, and Piglet today only weighted in at 835 grams! He's always been the smallest but his normal weight is around 1150 grams. He's eating and...

So Piglet who will be 6 in two months has alway drank more water than other pigs but ,over the past 6 months or so, steadly increasing his water intake and well as a result, increasing his pee amount. He has rapidly over the past two weeks or so drastically increased his water intake/outake...

So Percy got sick a couple months ago with sneezing, wiping his nose, nose dripping and wheezing. So I took him to the vet and he got a 2 week dose of Baytril. While he was on the Baytril, there was no drippy nose, no wheezing when he breathed, but he still sneezed. Within a couple days of...

So I've housed Percy and Peanut together for about 2 years now. I have fleece in their cage with pads underneath. I sweep poops every day, but even then the cage starts to smell of urine w/in about 3 days. At the end of the week it is getting really bad and when I pull up the fleece the pads...

Some of you may or may not be aware I lost two of my guinea pigs w/in 3 weeks of each other in June. Peanut was put to sleep after suffering from strokes, and his cagemate Patches, who was my oldest pig, died suddenly just 3 weeks later. I currently have two boys. Percy (1yr) and Piglet...

As some of you may know I lost one of my boars Peanut 3 weeks ago due to strokes. Now his cagemate Patches is not doing well. After Peanut died I noticed that Patches (he's 6yrs old) seemed to be skinner than usual. I weighed him and he weighed in at just over 900G which is 200 grams less...

He's only 3 years old. About 6 months ago he had a stroke. He was "crooked" for a while but then seemed to get over it with no ill effects. Then about a week and a half ago he had another stroke. Now he cannot eat properly. At first he was still running up to the veggie dish and attemping...

I just went to their cage to say good night and Peanut was laying in his cage with his head tilted to one side. I picked him up, and he was limp. I put him in a cuddle cup and he started moving around but his head was still tilted tword his right. His right eye was alos moving weirdly apart...

Back story. I had 2 boars,Patches and Piglet that I had for 2years together. I wouldn't consider them bonded, but they tolerated each other. Then I introduced a 3rd guy Peanut (he was a baby at the time). Things deteriorated between Patches and Piglet (the original 2) after that. Patches...

Ok, I just adopted a baby (I'm estimating about 1.5-2mths ish). Neighbor got him at a pet store that said he was 4weeks old, and they had him for about 3 weeks. He's in with one of my boars who's just over 4 years old. I know that baby's are supposed to eat different pellets and alphalfa hay due...

Well my last post was about my 3 boars and the fact that the two eldest just could not seem to get along. There was some serious bloodshed, then things seemed to calm down, but then the agression started ramping back up. My neighbors had bought a guinea pig a couple weeks ago (the son...

First I had two boars Piglet and Patches who were together for a year w/no problems. Then I introduced a new boar Peanut and the three were together with no problems for about 6mths. Then suddenly one of the original boars Patches started biting and becomming very agressive toward his original...

Hi! I just noticed a rather large lump? firm bump? thick area?I'm not sure how to describe it right under my one boy's chin on his under neck area. He's acting normally, eating fine, and it doesn't seem to bother him at all when I touch or poke at it. I'm wondering if it's an abcess, but...

Exactly what it says. :sad: Our air conditioning went out yesterday and we had someone look at it today, but apparently it needs a part that we can not get until next week! It is currently around 80 degrees in the piggies room (I have three in a 7x2 cage) but today happens to be fairly cool...

I'm at my wits end. I got a 3rd boy a couple months ago, and the first intro to my other two boys did not go well. My dominant boar flipped, blood was drawn and I separated. Well, i redid the whole cage, and reintroduced Sunday mid-day. No blood yet... but... My dominant boar Patches has...

For the past week or so I've noticed Piglet has a runny nose. I first noticed it when I was giving him a "nose kiss" (we rub noses through the grids) and he wet sneezed right in my face!:sick: Since then I've noticed his nose is running and he is constantly wiping it with his paws. He's...

The hay rack in my cage is a bent (Lshaped) target grid ziptied to the side of the cage so it sticks out like a shelf that I put the hay on and my boys had been runing underneath it and reaching up to get the hay. When they were small this worked really well. Lately though I've noticed...

I saw a post in the adoptables discussion from a family about 20 miles from me "desperate" to adopt out a pair of bonded boars due to family alergies. I currently have two boars both about 10 months old in a 8x2 with a 4x2 upper level. These new boars I think are around the same age. Money...

Boar. Glue. :eek: OK- now that you are done laughing;) .. this is actually becoming a serious problem for me. Patches and Piglet have been living together with no problems for about 5 months now. They are in a 2X8 C&C with a 2x2 second level. They were (I think) about 2months when I got...
