Thank you both for your input ♥
@AmberCalzone I will definitely follow your suggestion on cleaning everything to remove all scents. It will actually work out great because I'm in the middle of sewing new cage liners for them and hope to have them done this weekend since my sewing machine decided to crap out on me. Maybe I did misread/misunderstand the guidelines for introducing, I'm not sure. I have been obsessing over this whole situation since I realized my Small Small was pregnant. I just feel so overwhelmed sometimes because I'm in over my head and just want to make the best decision under these less-than-ideal circumstances. But I do know that I'm going to wait until next week to put them together again, that way Olaf can nurse for the full three weeks before leaving his mama.
@ClemmyOddieIndy you're right, my title/original post is misleading. I don't even think I knew exactly what I was asking last night. I'm still not even sure I know what I'm asking, I just know I'm in over my head and feel like I'm doing everything wrong. I was leaning toward neutering initially because that was our original intention when I brought him home, never expecting to have babies. Now that little Olaf has entered the picture it seems like a better option altogether. I feel like both decisions need to be carefully considered as both have their pros and cons, but there are more cons in neutering than moving Olaf in with Boy Pig.
Ugh I could cry, I wish I hadn't been so naive when I brought Boy Pig home and I wouldn't be in this situation. My poor piggies have gotten the short end of the stick and I just want to fix everything so they're happy and healthy. I guess I'll give it some serious thought over the next couple of days and try to make the best decision for them. I'm like 99% sure we'll be moving our boys in together though, so wish me luck! By the way, did you like the pictures I shared? I posted them for you since I took the advice in the link you shared with me last night
