Newbie

Welcome to the forum!

There are few members here that don't have pigs, just have an avid interest in them, so feel free to don't be a stranger!

It is best to do all the research you need before aquiring a new pet, so dive in and learn what you can! You may find that the standards of care this site promotes are not what you knew about and practiced for 20 years; so please be prepared for some pretty different ideas, particularly on cage size and diet!

Welcome to the group. I am glad things are changing at work for you.

Welcome to the forum!

I too joined this forum pigless, within I think three weeks my cage was built, dismantled, rebuilt to be made even better - and then I adopted my two precious little boys.

I expected to be pigless until at least after summer, but when I heard that the boys would be going to a pet shop I had to intervene - we are all now very happy together, thanks to all the good people on this forum and their wonderful help and advice.

Thanks for nice welcome, the only thing I did different I guess is they were kept outside, not completely exposed but in a shed. I now know this is not ideal and they will need to move indoors when I get some.
