New here, just came home with my (son's) 2 new darlings - Chuckie and Linney. I can tell already that we'll need a bigger cage and something to zap my twins from the cage :mischievo

Congrats on the new fur kids. You will get lots of great ideas, and help, with building a new cage.
As far as keeping the kids back. May I suggest electric fences or shock collars?
I normally don't recommend shock collars for dogs but they work great on human children.*
*just kidding folks (well partially).
Cattle prods and tasers work well for kids too. Barbed wire is old fashioned but still has many good uses. :cheerful:
Welcome Hippymom, tell us about your new piggers. Oh, and please don't tell my kids what I said as they will be picking my nursing home! Yikes!
Did the boys pick out Linney's name from Wonder Pets? That's so cute! It's great that you found this site, I wish I did when I first adopted mine.

Well, at least you avoided the Russian Tortoise. Next time, you can teach your son all about the joys of adopting an orphan piggy. Kids are usually fascinated with adoption. My daughter tried to send me off to China to get her a baby sister when she was four.
When I rescued Midnight, he came with a bark collar and a shock collar. I left the collars on the table. The next day, My son Alex(13 at the time) had put the shock collar on my youngest son(12 at the time) and started to zap him everytime he did something wrong. When I got home Alex came running to me and said "mom, I know what will work on Ben to get him to behave and calm down". He went on to say that "That shock collar works great, I only had to shock him 5 times, now he is behaving himself". After I was done yelling at Alex and got the collar off of Ben I thought to myself, why didn't I think of that:melodrama
