Aww your boys are gorgeous! Is Charlie slightly older, or just bigger?
And a lot of people say hello in the chatterbox before starting their pigs' thread in here - think you've found your way around just fine!

Thank you Bean!
I don't know the exact age of my boys. I bought Charlie at a Pet Store, knowing nothing about piggys. After I did my research I bought all the right stuff, returned the wrong stuff, and went back a few weeks later and picked out Henry.
I am guessing that they are pretty close in age. Their toe nails look the same, and while Charlie appears bigger, every time I weight them they are close to the same size with Henry being the heavier of the 2. I estimate them to be nearing 6ish months of age, but I could be way off!

Funny that Henry is actually slightly heavier! I think he just looks a little younger too, like he hasn't grown in to his ears yet, which is very sweet. My two are brothers but one is quite a bit stockier than the other, so it's hard to tell even if you know they're the same age. I'm hopeless at telling how old pigs are though - and kids too!
Do your boys get along well? Mine are about 8 months and having the odd hormone surge which sends them a little barmy. No real squabbling at all, but lots of rumbling and chasing at times!

Thanks everyone!
I believe my boys get along well, but I still consider myself to be a beginner. They do rumble from time to time though. They eat from the same dishes, usually stay side by side all the time, sleep close, if I take one away they look or wheek for one another. I think I got lucky with these 2!
As soon as we move they need a bigger cage though. They are in a 2x3 c & c cage with a loft. I have all the supplies to make it a 2x4 as soon as we move. They get an hour or so of run time to help make up for it though.

Definitely well bonded. All males rumble periodically. The bigger the cage, the better. Pigs love to run (do zoomies), rearrange their cages, play follow the leader games through mazes, etc. They will grow into the biggest spaces pissible.

It does sound like they get along really well - how sweet. Mine play together a lot and occasionally snuggle up together, but generally tend to retreat to separate camps to sleep!
It's funny as if we take Josh out for cuddles on his own, Cadbury wheeks for him. If we take Cadbury out, Josh popcorns around the cage/ room like a giddy goose! Cadbury can be a bit bossy, so Josh is probably just making the most of his freedom!
A 2 x 3 cage with a loft and daily exercise sounds great too - although I'm sure they will love their 2 x 4!

Our two are like an old married couple and have quite a few differences of opinion. We still see a few popcorns though so all is not lost LOL!!

Well I am glad to know that my boys seem to be bonded. I often wonder, but they never really fight so I figured we were OK. Here is their current cage And this is where they play. There are usually more toys out, but we didn't have much time this morning.

It is indeed, I bet they do some good laps!
The loft area in the cage is great, especially for teenage boys. It's somewhere for one of them to go to get a bit of space - not that it sounds like they have any desire to escape from each other, but my two do sometimes!
Nice sign too, always good to make sure you know who's handling your pigs.
