Newbie Here!!!

Hello I'm new here from Canada. I just love piggies and had to join once I seen the forum. So far its been great!

I live in Canada, I have a hamster named Bandit who is very spoiled! Hopefully I can open my heart to some piggies.

My sister, Snow_piggy, and I are planning on adopting some Piggies. We have found four young piggy girls at a local animal shelter. We are hoping to get all four but will probably only end up with two because are parents don't want many more pets.

I hope to see you all around the boards.

P.S. is 18 sq ft (C&C cage) alright for atleast 2 piggies?

Welcome to the forum sis.

Welcome to the forum! There are lots of Canadians joining lately!

Just let us know if you have any questions, or need help with anything.

Lots of Canadians eh?

Well I was looking at the pictures and I noticed that some people don't have coroplast while using fleece. Do you need to use coroplast while using fleece?

18 sq ft is plenty of room for 2 piggies. A minimum of about 10sq ft is recommended. With fleece, you don't necessarily have to have deep walls, but I definitely something solid under the fleece, and I would suggest at least 2-3" walls to contain the poops between spot cleaning.

Where in Ontario are you?
I was browsing Kijiji ads today and found this one: Long Haired Guina Pigs - London, Ontario Pets For Sale - Kijiji London, Ontario

They're in London and apparently they come with an OUTDOOR hutch, how awful is that?! Ugh.

[Cavies_rock]

Pretty awful^

I'm in the simcoe county area. Those arn't the Piggies I was looking at but they sound adorible

Thanks Percy's Mom
