Ok, so you are building a c and c cage before getting them? And getting everything else before? Or are you just getting the pigs and all in one swoop, so that they will have to be waiting for you to set everything up in that little cardboard box? If you already know you're getting some, how about setting up in advance, not just on the fly as soon as they're there.

Also, you didn't answer about the pet store. Please adopt, I'm sure there are plenty of homeless piggies in your area needing homes.

If you're getting them from a store, then you'll need to get one fixed, so you'll need two cages to start off with. After the neutering process, you'll need to keep the male in his seperate cage for at least two to three weeks. Not to mention that you would have to have two cages anyhow, because the two will need to be kept seperate for quarantine for two weeks.

If your intent is not to breed them, you'll need to have one fixed, which will need to be set up, and which will also take time. If you can, it's much more preferable to get two of the same sex--they'll get along just as well as a m-f pair.

You just need to add a level on and a base for that level, surf through the pictures.

Thanks for your reply.
