Hello, teenage girl with lots of piggy experience who's welcomed two more boys

Welcome! Post pigtures!

Oh my goodness! Those hair do's! <3

Hehe They're around 7 weeks old (they were one day over 6 when I got Boris on Saturday)

How sweet! I have 6 boars and we're adopting two more on Tuesday! All ranging from 3.5 weeks to 2.5 years old!

Awww! I've mostly had females before these two

Adorable piggies!

Thank you! Everyone seems so kind although all the rules seem a little scary I hope I don't forget and do something wrong

Your pigs are SO CUTE! Oh my god, I'm dying hahaha.
I've always wanted a cream and white piggie

Thank you! Boris is really lovely natured and Harry's a little nervous but we'll work through it and build his trust slowly

Thank you, Kelsie! It does seem like a lovely place so far

Also, I'm wondering how I'll know if my boys are getting along. They are littermates but I got Harry 2 days later because Boris seemed really sad (I was worried about fighting) didn't buddy bath but introduced them and then put them in together. Boris mounted him and chased for a while that's all no rumbling or hair pulling but they sleep in different houses a lot of the time. So my mother is worried about them falling out but I thought they were doing okay? She thinks they'll fall out when they reach puberty. Is this true?
I have placed girls together no problem in the past, I'm just not so experienced with males. We've never had two girls fight properly.

Yeah, once they hit puberty it will probably get a little worse but if they are only 7 weeks it will be a while until that starts so they should have time to sort out their dominance (they have puberty around 6 months to a year I believe) Unless they are drawing blood they should be fine, even if they aren't cuddle buddies. They are adorable! Welcome to the forum!

Nope, no blood has been drawn. I hope they get along. Also, for example, is Harry needs a bath will it cause them to fight? And will they both need to be bathed at the same time? Just for future reference.

I just want to get everything right since I'm not used to boys and I had a horrible experience with dwarf hamster that were meant to get along. (had to rehome one because they were stressed even being in same room. Only had one 5 days and still have my beautiful 4 month old Wesley now)

Thats why my mum is a bit worried

I don't think that bathing would cause them to fight, I bathe mine on the same day so I don't know for sure... Also not sure if you already know this boys need "butt baths" for their grease glands, how often they need it depends on the pig

Hamsters are not the same as guinea pigs when it comes to males getting along. With some hamsters, they can only live alone. Male guinea pigs will usually get along as long as they have enough space. Males need more room per pig than females do.

They. are. Adorable.
I don't know, but something about abby's, they have this baby face that they never loose until they are 6 months old. Your pigs have those baby abby faces <3 I love it.

Your boys are adorable! I hope bonding the two goes smoothly. And welcome to the forum!

Thank you, everyone. Yes, I know about 'butt baths' I've had boys before but alone or with a female amd neutered.



I know hamsters are different, my mother just doesn't want the same thing to happen and that's why we're a little cautious.
