Hello,
My name is Eric I am the proud owner of two female 8 month old piggies and a 3 month old male.
I have a awesome c&c cage built for them, the bottom is 2x5 and the 2nd level is a 2x3.. Currently my baby male is still in the quarantine phase we have had him for 2 days. Currently our girls are in the 2x5, and the 2x3 is blocked off we have him in a spare cage we had in a different room, but we're intend to put him,in the 2x3 space as a temp home we do not have a ramp yet so the girls do not have access to Him when he is there.
I have a few questions, I would like to put a ramp in and have the three of them play and live together.. But I know the male will need to be fixed. I currently am seeking an experienced vet to do the deed.
My first question is, has anyone got a male fixed who still got a female pregnant?
My second is, is it okay for me to make small toys and tunnels with cardboard boxes? I would assume it would be okAy as long as they don't try to make it a meal.
Third question, say the whole living together doesn't work out, if I just separate them with a divider and a Corp plast wall and maybe a few Windows on it, will that still cause issues ? And will that still fulfill their social needs or would I need a 2nd male to partner him with, but I have also heard two males with females can cause problems in itself as well.
