Hello all,
First of all this is a great website with so much valuable information. I am a new cavy owner. We just adopted an 8 month old piggie and are now looking at adopting a friend for him. We found a baby that will be about a month and a half by the time we get him and he goes through quarantine. What are some basic rules that I should follow housing these two together? One thing that I have been confused about is the pellet and hay situation. I know that piggies under 6 months need alfalfa based pellets and alfalfa hay, but older than 6 months need to have timothy. Will they just leave each others food alone?
