We don't have our pig yet, but thanks to this site, we have a nice 8.6 square foot CC playpen.
As I read and learn about caring for cavies, I read a couple times that rodent wheels are bad for pigs. I figured it must be that pigs would injure their feet running on wire mesh. One person felt it would hurt their back. So, any opinions on a 16.5 inch diameter wheel with a solid surface to run on? The idea being that it would let them run if they felt like it without injuring their back or feet.
