Hi All! I LOVE this forum and have stalked it for a while now! No pigs yet but have ordered all the following items and have my eye on a couple of rescue pigs. We have decided to wait until we get back from an early February vacation to adopt two pigs but want to get the cage and everything set up.
I think it's mostly covered, at least for the beginning stages:
I know I need to get some easy to clean bedding for the kitchen area, "toys", and possibly a hay rack if they make a mess of the hay. Any other big things I'm missing to get us up an running? (Didn't realize these guys were so expensive to start off!).
We have three dogs so the cage will be covered and it's going in a room we already block off from dogs with a gate unless supervised.
Thanks for all the helpful advice already out there!
I think it's mostly covered, at least for the beginning stages:
- C&C 2x4 with loft (hoping loft will work as kitchen area, I know that will depend on pigs) and stand
- 2 water bottles
- food bowl
- Timothy Hay
- Pellets
- 2 Houses
- Fleece Flippers for the bottom
