Hey all, I'm brand new to this-just registered today, although I have been looking around and reading posts to get some start up information. I love in southeastern MN with my hubby and three kids, ages 15, 7 1/2 and 4 1/2. I would appreciate any and all advice...
We have made our c&c cage. I was lucky enough that my hubby works for a major beverage company and was able to bring me some of their unused signs for free. Saved a lot. We have a 2x3 cage with a 1x2 loft. Now we are just waiting to fill it with our new piggys! We are planning to pick them up on Sunday from a lady who no longer wants them. I just have couple of concerns, tho'. They are siblings. Do you think this will cause any problems? I was unable to determine their sex for sure because the were pretty skittish and didn't want to sit still. The vet in our area said they will sex them for me free. Also, I am guessing that it would be a good idea to have any male neutered?? I would rather not have any babies. My kids are so excited and have been trying out names for the last month. I told them that they need to pick out one of each or make them unisex since we don't know for sure what they are.
Anyway-I'm happy to be here and look forward to sharing information with all of you!!!
