[pigsforlife]

My girls are housed on towels (soon it will be fleece, I still have to finish preparing it) in a 3x4 C&C cage and are fed Oxbows Cavy Cusine. They get unlimited amounts of hay that I purchase from the local feed store, and I supplement this with several large handfuls of Oxbows Western Timothy (the reason I only supplement their diet with Oxbows hay is due to the cost). Not to mention the amount of veggies they get twice a day.

Rosie my latest pig was adopted/rescued from a couple who could know longer have her due to severe allergies.

I have not brought 1 product at a petstore since finding this site. I buy everything either online or from the feed store.

I am researching heavily about budgies (one thing I didnt do before getting Lily), as I plan on adopting one soon.

Monthly I go around to a group of people in my neighbourhood that own pigs and cut their pigs nails, do a general health check (check eyes, ears, nose, feet, hair etc etc), educate and advise them.

When I need to buy something I try to find products where part of the money goes to an animal organisation (or other organisation).

Most if not all products in my house are either animal friendly or natural.

Times are tricky at the moment, I am really struggling with life in general, however I do put away part of my pay each week that goes to shelters in my area. I want to donate to ACS at some stage, hopefully I will be able to make that a regular thing as well.

I am going vegetarian, this has been a big decision that I have only recently made. My parents understand and support my decision 110%. As of 4 days ago, I have cut out dairy, egg and most meat products from my diet. As I go on, I will consume more and more cruelty free products and less of the other products. I brought a vegetarian cooking book and a guide to being a vegetarian book 3 days ago, and I plan on trying a new meal every 3rd night.

Most importantly; I learn from my mistakes.
