Digby & Ralph - Bonded boar pair age 3

AVAILABLE ❤️

Digby & Ralph are ready for their new home !! 🐾 I will admit it will be hard to see them go but that’s part of rescue.

Remember Digby age 3 who arrived a single boar with very sore pododermatitis on his feet ?

Well after TLC and great vet care including steroid treatment he is fully recovered and loving life with his new companion Ralph age 3. Ralph arrived a single bereaved boar and is the sweetest Guinea Pig.

Since being paired they have become bonded friends and love lawn time and are both curious about everything around them.

Ralph is a little timid and Digby leads the way but they will be a great pair for an adult / family with children home.

Due to Digbys previous foot condition they need to be housed on fleece / bath mat type flooring.
