| Re: Dividing the cage dangerous Up until recently I have always had a wall seperating at least 1 male from the female cage or 2 males from each other. I had bad luck with males. Out of 4 not any would get along. We neutered 2 and divided them into 2 groups with the females and a divider between them. Then put the 2 remaining males in a divided cage until 1 was rehomed and the other was put in a divided section off the main cage with the 2 female/neutered male groups. I never had any trouble with dividers. However I do think ahead. When I had a pig that liked to shove it's nose into the grids to try to bite the others I double gridded, when I had a pig that looked like it might climb or jump I put on a top, and when I had pigs that would shove the edges I cut holes in the coro so I could connect the grid at the middle and bottom instead of just at the top above the coro. Done right dividers work just fine. I had a couple stand for years with very obsessive and agressive pigs on the other side. I've always redesigned my cage long before the dividers were in danger of breaking. |
