Re: Greetings

Salana, I believed the family that purchased the sow from me called her Pebbles, I didn't record the date of death, I just remember it was in early 05. No I don't have a weight on her, nor do I have any other records as she wasn't in my ownership at the time. I looked at my records and she was just shy of 6 months when she was killed by the grids. They came home to find her with her head through a grid and stone cold dead. THey had only been gone for the day at work. No I don't have the grid name either.

I have also stopped encouraging people allow their cavies to have floor time as another pig was crushed when a futon crashed onto her. They had no previous knowledge that there was a problem with the frame and there was not anyone on it at the time. She was being supervised at the time.

I do encourage people to make cages out of coroplast with higher sides to contain the cavies.

Sorry if this doesn't answer your questions to your satisfaction, I had no idea that at some point I would be subject to an inquisition !

Lobsteroverlord, I have only had two sows die from complications in pregnancy/delivery. Pretty good ratio considering I have roughly 30 litters in a year and I have been breeding this many litters for 4+ years.
