It is absolutely not a good idea to breed your piggies. If you haven't already, please seperate your male and female and read the link babygrl provided. I also recommend scimming through a lot of the posts on here for breeding horror stories such as this one: http://cavycages.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5965.

Re: hiya im new

Heya and welcome to the forum. Breeding is not a good thing for a sow at all! If you want more piggies please think about adopting from a rescue. Since you didn't seem to know the dangers though it's alright and it seems like that thread has changed your mind! I think we would all love to see pigture of your cavies since that is pretty mandatory on this forum!

~*~*Welcome Kyle ~*~*

Wow... I am so glad you took the advise about not breeding. You sound like you really care about your piggies.

Would *love* to see some pictures of your cavies.

Again... Welcome to the group.
There is a great bunch of people here, with tons of wonderful advise and suggestions for healthier and happier piggies.

Debbie

Re: hiya im new

No i am not here to cause trouble at all, even though i have just got a warning for not punctuating properly
i didnt relise you people were as harsh as that as i semi Dyslexic and struggle with spelling i have to type it in microsoft word and then paste it in after spell checking & with punctuation any way so i am sorry if i have offended any one by not punctuating.

For someone who is semi dyslexic and being on the computer .... you are doing quite well.

Tell us all about your piggies. How old are they, and what they look like, etc..
