1 or 2 sows for my male piggie?

Hi

We have a 7month old boar. We were given bad advice at the beginning and only got the one. The more I read, the more I realised that it was cruel to keep him on his own.

So...... we had him neutered with a view to getting him a female companion.

My question is really - should we get 1 or 2 females? I know it's not an exact science.

I just feel bad taking just one female away from her litter, espcially if she and Timmy don't bond.

Any thoughts? I'm not keen on the thought of keeping them separately as one lot of cleaning out is enough!!!!

Thanks :-)
