Re: Hey!

Welcome to the forum. It's great that you're researching and getting your facts together before getting your next pair of piggies. Yes, they live better and seem happier in at least a pair of same sex piggies or with a neutered or spayed piggie.

You'll find all your information as posted by nonamian_girl. Don't fret about your poor other piggie. I feel the same. I didn't have a piggie before but my brother did. He was in a very small store-bought cage and received the occassional iceberg lettuce and carrot. He never got any hay and I'm sure not alot of space to just run. I feel dreadful that Quentin lived like that, but now we know better.

I have seven girls that live in a huges C&C cage. They get unlimited hay and a variety of veggies with the occassional fruit. They have a good quality pellet and are very loved. They get to spread their little feet in their playpen (not as often as I'd like) but with their cage being so huge and someone's always got someone out holding, cuddling, grooming, they get their share.

Ok, I've rambled on enough. Good luck. And please, please rescue from a shelter or rescue near you. When you're ready, the members can help you with links to find the perfect match.
