"I don't want boars they will fight" is a phrase I hear so often from prospective adopters.

I think about the numerous loving pairs of boars waiting for homes at the rescue and think what an unfair deal they get. 

People are only repeating what they are told, or have just had a bad experience, but this myth is a hard one to break and causes me much frustration, especially when the people who say it have often never had guinea  pigs before, and have very limited experience of guinea pigs.

The truth is, boars can get along in twos, threes, fours, and so on, as long as you are a conscientious guinea pig owner. This means taking account of a few important factors and not panicking at the smallest squabble.

If you are keeping boars they need to have plenty of space, exercise, mental stimulation, and keep them away from female guinea pigs!

You do get clashes of personality, but this is the same with females so sometimes you just need to find a good match.

If you already have an adult male the best bonding is with a baby male, and this bonding seldom fails, and is usually more successful than two juvenile males.

It is well worth reading the following webpage if you are planning to bond your guinea pig with another.
