My male (who's been renamed Mr. Mister) is 5 months old, we have him and Miss Piggy in a 2x4 divided c&c cage. I think they would be happier being together but I hate putting Mr. Mister through the danger/trauma/stress of neutering when they seem to be doing alright being devided. Actually he seems much more interested in her than she seems in him lol
Is neutering safe? I know there's some danger, there is with any surgery, but is the risk minimal? I'd rather leave them devided than risk my little man's life.
Also, lately he's been lunging at my hand when I put it in his cage for any reason, he doesn't actually chomp down, but he puts his teeth on me and threatens to bite. Is that a normal male piggy behavior? Is he just being protective of his territory? Would neutering help stop this? What age is best to have it done?
