Re: help!!!

Hi annaamber: Do you mean your piggers are brothers or that you have human brothers? What do either of these have to do with getting additional piggs?

How many piggers do you have and what are your cage specifications?
If you already have enough room to add another pig, check out these sources.

Becci @ Pigpalooza. http://www.pigpalooza.com/ They are only a sanctuary now, but apparently help facilitate piggie adoptions. You will have to call her.

Re: help!!!

I think unless you can build another cage it would be tricky to have more pigs. Females is out of the question as they will fight over them and I think they would get upset if a new male is introduced.. but some people have had luck with introducing a third...

Re: help!!!

You can introduce more males so long as you do it correctly and don't just stick them in the cage with the others right off. I have 3 males together right now and I know there are some people with 5 males living together. There is even a post in the guinealynx reference forum on it http://www.guinealynx.info/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2972.

Re: help!!!

I have 4 males living together and they are getting along just fine. They have a few issues occasionally and will chatter their teeth and nip but for the most part they get along well. The most important thing is to introduce them properly and make sure they have enough space. I have my four in the equivelent of a 2x7 with a 2x3 loft. Everyone has a hidey and there is an extra one also. That way there are no hidey fights.
