Hi!!!

Well, I thought I would say hello because I haven't been around for two years...

After my mother said I would not be getting a piggie I didn't come back for a while. However, my mother's office manager's daughter recently asked my mother if we would take her piggie because she didn't have time for him. I was extremely surprized when she agreed! However, the piggie, who we have re-named Skooter, came in an "extra-large" commercial cage. I had cubes and built him a 2X4 cage. However, my mother thinks his cage is "just fine". Since I also want to adopt another piggie to acompany him, I hope to convince her that the bigger cage is essential for his well-being.

Re: Hi!!!

Hi, welcome (back) !

Well done for building a nice cage, I wish you luck convincing your mother. You could try reading up about why piggies need as much space as possible for good health and their psychological well being. A bored piggie in a small cage is going to be bored, lonely, under-exercised etc and more likely to get sick. If you can explain this to her she might accept that a big cage really is a necessity, not a luxury. And since you have already built a great cage it won't cost you any more to put Skooter in it.
