Mine are a year and a year and a half. Do you think they have hit puberty yet?

Trimming the hair would be fine. Im a pet groomer for a living and I would not reccomend using scissors on these guys, unless done like above where u stand the risk and not the piggy. I use a small cordless trimmer on my guys with an attachment comb. It leaves the hair about .5 inches, so it...

Im so sorry for your loss. CavyMama is right, when you get another is totally up to you. The quarintine process would be plenty of time to rule out lingering illness on Samantha.

Your set up looks great, love your fleece forest!

My two boars are in a 2x3.5 with a 1x3.5 loft. And it seems to be plenty of room. They rarely have spats.

Im actually dealing with mites right now. $130 later I wish someone would have told me the dosage so I could treat at home. My bigger boars is 2.34 lbs and the dosage the vet prescribed for him and the other at 1.98 lbs was .2 ml a week for 3 weeks. You can get ivermectin at feed stores or...

Update on Meo's vet appointment, and advice needed So we took Meo to the vet and the Doctor diagnosed him with Scabies. I thought that was contagious but my other boar Spaz has shown no symptoms what so ever. Meo got a shot of ivermectin and tomorrow im going to bring Spaz in for the same...

I found a rodentologist in Tampa. Its a good 45 mins from where I live but if she can get him fixed then ill drive there.

I thought the vet was a wacko! I think I need to try finding someone who deals mostly with pigs! Do you think he will be ok till Monday? Or should I try and do emergency vet. Also does that appear to be ringworm to you?

I dont know if you can see that all that well but the first one is of his rear end. You can see the little tuft of hair that is still there. This is the exact same spot that it was balding before. The second is of his eye. He is squinting in this but its normally more open than that. What should...

The original diagnosis was ringworm, I thought for sure that was it considering my son also got ringworm shortly after Meo was diagnosed. We treated with Ivermectin for 10 days and 2 times a day. Then i also increased his vit c intake. I was just feeding healthy veggies 2 times a day and the vet...

Hi everyone, We havent been on the board lately, but I desperately need help. One of my boars has been ill for about a month and a half now. When we first noticed he was ill we immediately went to the vet. The vet prescribed Ivermectin and an increased Vit C supplement. We did that for about a...

im so sorry for your loss.

My friend and I were going to go in on the cost of a large order from KMS, should we wait and continue to buy store stuff until next season? I dont want to pay shipping and higher cost if its the same quality as the store brands.

Just adorable! TFS! And i also was thinking what in the world are they eating. lol
