Re: Greetings from piggy land!

You can build one fabulous cage for under or right at $40 depending on what you pay for the coroplast. With extra grids you can also make it up off the ground and use the space underneath for storage. My question was why are the pigs all separated? I guess early this morning I wasn't clear.
Simon missed him so we moved Chance into my room and now they talk to each other.
Why put another pig all alone in a rabbit cage like Chance is. What not build a proper size cage so the boys can be together? Maybe I am not seeing the picture. It sounds as if you have at least 5 separate cages. With a bit of effort and reading about introductions (home page) you could have just two cages. One for the gals and one for the guys. It would be so much easier to keep up with too. The number one reason a pig of either sex won't get along with another pig is the cage size. They need personal space just like we do. The boars go require a bit more space than the girls. We have a member here RyanR who has multiple boars in one cage. I have 7 girls and 1 neutered boar in one cage. Sure they have their spats but they adore each other.
