Sweep is a (roughly) 3 year old, entire boar. He came to me when his owner was no longer able to look after him due to poor health.
He was bonded with his brother, Sooty, but sadly Sooty died a short while ago so Sweep is now on his own.
I am looking for a home where he will be bonded with another boar (preferably by someone with some experience of this) or where he will be neutered by an experienced vet and bonded with a lady pig ;)

Homes will be vetted and he must NOT be bred from.

Please PM me if you are interested in offering a home to Sweep. I am in the Canterbury area of Kent. :D

Amazingly yes. Have tried to split them but the wheeek for each other!! Only thing is they go into pairs the brats so sometimes one is left alone!! :roll:

Am wondering if I could sort out a piggie run...?? But would you be able to check me from that distance?

If you were interested then I would be happy if someone local from the forum who has experience could do a homecheck and I could see some pictures of your set up.
Not sure how feasable a piggy train would be - but no harm in asking!
Are you by any chance on the guinea pig forum?

Aww he is lovely. I'd love him for Pearl, but we have out off getting her a partner until we have the time to look into it again :D Hope he finds a home soon.

Just bumping up this little man :D
If anyone would be interested in rehoming him if he was neutered then please let me know and I can look at getting my own vet to do it.
