  Not Ranked. Helpful AND tactful post? : 0  Re: Is it a bad idea to rescue another piggie? | |
hallo. really great question and the responses are ever so thoughtful.
i, too, would take into account their overall sense of well-being first off. my boars are big pigs, and are a handful [rescued]. they are very connected to one another, and of course, i am a part of the herd as well, so that makes three.
affording medical issues should they arise, maintaining proper nutritional needs, mental and physical stimulation [time-wise], good housekeeping practises within their space or wherever they venture [my boys are freewheeling], and so on. looking at the present arrangement and into potential future scenarios with a new addition to your family. pigs may react fine at first, then have behaviours to work out. any change to/in their environment is significant, and it's wonderful that you are not acting on impulse.
all the best!
