That sounds like a fab idea,it would probably work better that way.I had a male and female that lived together and never bred,i think he may have been neutered before i got him,they were inseparable.

I'm not sure where to get him neutered the vet i have him registered with mainly deals with cats and dogs and is ok to get his claws done but am not sure about getting him neutered there. Is there anyway of finding a good reputable guinea vet for him in my local area?

The best way to do that really is to just go through the phone book,list the local vets and call and ask,they should tell you if they deal with small animal neutering or not.Not sure if this helps much but theres not really any other way of finding out unless you know people with small animals that could recommend a vet.

thanks i think i'l do that

Why dont you buy another sow to live with your lone sow? or a neutered boar?
I must advice that you can not put two boars neutered or not with a single sow they will still fight.
I personally would get a friend for the lone sow and not breed. I have kept Guineas for nearly 9yrs and have experience of breeding finding the sow a friend is an easier option than to breed, do you know the history of the pigs you are planning to put togther?

Remember if you get a boar neutered he must not be with the sow for upto 4wks because the seimen can still be alive within side the tubes left within his body.
