Re: New Girls!

[FONT=Georgia]First I want to say welcome, and thank you for adopting instead of buying and supporting mills. You're doing the right thing.

Second, when you bring them home, you do NOT want to have them in a busy room. You're going to want to put them somewhere quiet and people/animal-free for a few hours to get accustomed to their new home.

Third, the cage you'll get with the girls will be fine while you start working on your C&C (cubes & coroplast) cage or buy one. I'm assuming the person you're adopting them from does not have a C&C cage, and therefore, the cage they DO have is most likely too small.

Lastly, to help get them settled in, make sure all the people that come to check the pigs out understand that they'll be scared and talk in a very quiet voice, not making any fast or sudden movements, as it will scare the pigs.

If you want anymore help on getting them settled, just ask. In the meantime, here are some links you definitely need to read up on.
