Male pot belly pig

Question

We have a 1 year old male potbelly pig. He has not been neutered. Is it too late? He is becoming aggressive, biting me and is smelly. If I get him neutered now will that help with these issues?
Thank you

Answer
It is NEVER too late to neuter a  male pb pig. It is a simple, safe operation because the testes are outside of the abdomen, so it is minimally intrusive.
His behavior will improve 100 per cent.
No more humping, smelling like a boar, or being aggressive. He will be a dream pig.
BTW, this must be done under anesthesia by a vet.
Good luck,
Priscilla
