I was given two pigs due to unfortunate circumstances. My ex bought two for his young kids and they all forgot to feed them. They came to me in ROUGH shape. I've managed to get them to a proper state of health. They came in an oxbow cage with a play yard but never went down into the extended bit even when left opn 24/7. They started fighting. I don't have the time to construct a c&c cage but midwest cages were on sale at my local pet shop so I purchased two for them. They seem much happier in their current set up. They are coming out of their houses more to frolic and I must say they melt my heart. I've had them going on a few months now and I still feel a bit clueless.
My questions are
Are two midwest cages put together big enough for two pigs?
Do my pigs need a vitamin c supplement?
And how do I get these little guys a bit more relaxed? They are so skittish. They were sort of tormented by my ex's kids. I have two small children as well but I don't let my kids handle them as they are much too young to understand fully how fragile they are. So far I've been hand feeding them through the cage and only removing them when I need to fully clean the cage. Should I be removing them more? I feel guilty as they seem terrified of me holding them.
Oh, and they are named Greta and Rainbow Dash. Greta is the blonde one.
