I had one scary afternoon today. I was cleaning their cage today and while I was doing that I let them run in the pen (grids + plastic sheeting/uhaul/fleece bottom) as I always do. Today for some reason, when I opened the door, Totoro got freaked out and "dashed into" the grid "with great speed" and her head went though and got stuck. She is NOT a baby (not even young young)pig and I never thought her head would even fit. Wrong. Oh so glad that my husband was home. I kept her calm (and kept myself calm, boy it was hard) while he cut the wire and freed her. I can't even imagine what she was going though (thinking end of the world or something close to that) and I don't blame her a bit. Right now Totoro and MilkTea are "visiting" me as I type this (my desk is right next to the cage). I'm impressed how she is acting the way she does after that ordeal. She seems to be eating, drinking, interacting with Milktea...etc like she does everyday. I'm so very thankful. btw, I bought those grids from Amazon (9x9 holes).
Now, I MUST MUST MUST cover the grids - at least bottom 2-3 rows with something - plexiglass/plastic...etc and I need to secure it on to the each grid ... I prefer something clear and it would be nice if those panels "hold up" for storing when I need to move it...etc. Right now I'm just brain storming.... You never know if your pig's head could go through it or not until it does!!! aww, all the adrenaline rush and relief I felt today.... I think I will sleep good tonight (and I truly hope for that for Totoro!).
