Magic and Merlin visited Jenny earlier this wheek to be castrated. Both are approximately 15 wheeks old now. They sailed through the operation and save for the bit where they were opped on you’d never know what they’d had done. Both were munching on grass and dandelions when I went to pick up about 3 hours after their operation!
Both are happy living together at the moment but having them castrated gives me the option of putting them with a group of sows each if they do start to fight. Unfortunately there is no room to keep single boars here at the moment. This year has seen the most litters born here in a year (and there was potential for more) and the most ‘dumped and left to die’ guineas that have found their way here. I wonder if the latter is a sign of our economic times? Its certainly not an excuse to dump pets, though financial problems are certainly a reason to rehome pets (or even a reason not to take any on), but there are ways of doing it.
