Just a thought. In your other picture it says breakfast served with hay in a dish, they should get hay all day long at all times. They should never run out a hay. You may already know this I just want to be sure.
Anyways, Sweet piggies!

Yes thank you I do know hay is always to be available 24/7 and I make sure they are never out of the precious stuff LOL. Thank you for liking my piggies as I was only going to keep the "adopted" ones til the other four babies asked me to take them home to keep the adults company. So from NO pigs to SIX pigs in a flash I am scrambling to find out ALL I can to keep them happy and healthy. THANK YOU for ALL the advice I can glean on how it is done right.

THANK you ALL so much for the comments on my girls. I am totally NEW at pig keeping and the two biggest ones are what prompted me to get FOUR babies as "company" for the adults. I had NO idea however pigs POOP so much haha. Thank goodness for washable TARP in their playpen and I am using fleece over bath towels over newspaper over vinyl floor remnants so clean up IN the cage is a breeze at least. THANK YOU again for your liking my piglets :=)

The tubes are crinkle tubes I got from Petsmart and Petco. My girls LOVE them so since I have SIX girls I have SIX tubes for a fun time tunneling in the playpen :=)

The black and white pig OREO looks kinda like a POSSUM to me LOL which is why I got her mostly. She was the sixth and LAST girl or so I keep telling myself here :=) STOP LOL. So, six it is and one fine herd though I am ALOT prejudiced LOL. THANK YOU ALL for your kind comments.

Since this photo was taken Oreo the one on the far left who looks like a possum to me had to be given to a friend cause SHE turned out to be a HE  I miss him but I can still go see him every couple weeks but it was a harsh lesson on purchasing a pig FROM a pet store. All of my seven pigs were from Petco and Petsmart even the adopted first two and it is a bitter lesson to have learned so I hope anyone else reading this site also avoids more heartache and stay away from big chain pet stores

Sorry to hear that Oreo turned out to be a boy. He does look like a possum. So cute.
I hope your girls are not pregnant. How old is Oreo? You may go from 6 piggies to who knows how many in no time. I pray that is not the case, for your sake and the sake of all the girls.

I am now down to five piggies since Snickers the littlest pigger passed away suddenly. I had her for only 5 weeks and though she never seemed to "grow" much, she ate and played and was so healthy acting. Again, pet store bought pigs lesson learned the HARD WAY. Anyway, thank you for your concern and I am afraid OREO may have made TWINKIE a mother in due time. I HOPE she is only FAT and NOT preggers so time will tell this story too.

Oh yes I believe OREO was about 8 to 9 weeks OLD when I got him and he was with my other six "girls" long enough to impregnate them ALL. I PRAY only the ONE if so and I HOPE none are. Anyway, OREO went to a friends home where I can visit him every couple weeks but Snickers passing was a total shock and a terrible sorrow for her and me. But lesson learned. NO MORE PET STORE PIGS.
