My name is Deb. I am interested in purchasing my first piggy very soon. I'm in the stages of talking my hubby into it! I love them very much and need a cuddle bug! I am going to purchase a two level C&C cage soon. But for the mean time I'm going to use a small kiddie pool with fleece bedding. I have picked out a piggy and it's an orange little girl piggy and I'm going to name her Pumpkin! I look forward to meeting new people in this forum and learning how to be a new piggy mom!

Welcome to the forum! If you're using a kiddie pool, make sure that the sides will be high enough to keep your girl in (at least 12inches, some piggies will try to climb or jump out. we had a playpen that was 9in tall, and one of our girls climbed out!) I also recommend trying to find a friend for your girl (either another girl or neutered male). You can definitely see the difference between a piggy who lives alone and a piggy with a friend!

Please rescue your pig from a shelter or rescue rather than buying one. Also, guinea pigs are herd animals, and you really need at least two.
