A question for the group: Our litter of (4) pigglies was born extacly 3 weeks ago --- three girls and one boy. So including our 2 adult females we now have 5 girls and 1 boy. But, what do we do with the boy?
We don't want him to be lonely, so we thought about adopting him a male companion. But, if the females are nearby (but separated), will the males fight? Would the new male have to be neutered to prevent fighting? Or, would it be better overall to keep him alone, separated from the females (but able to touch noses), until he's of neutering age? What is neutering age?
Thanks -- all advice appreciated !
