Hi there,
new the site... I've had to refresh my memory a little bit and this site has really helped. I had piggies when I younger and absolutely loved them!
I rescued a mama and one of her babies 2 weeks ago (for my daughter) and I've since discovered that mama is pregnant. They mentioned that they had to remove a male baby when they guy brought them in. so when I noticed her belly - I put the two things together... so now I'm trying to prepare for the babies. It's been a while since I've done the baby thing... and I want to make sure that I do the right thing and that I do enough for her.. some things have changed over the last several years...
The baby that I got is probably about 6 months old I'd say.(and I'm really hoping SHE is not pregnant too!!).. the store owner said the mama was about 2 1/2 years old, (previously purchased at the same store)
Not sure if I should seperate the two. I have purchased a second cage for when the time arrives and I've started giving her Alfalfa(SP) hay (instead of the Timothy) and veges everyday... is it okay for the other piggie to have the alfalfa too?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated...
Thank You!
Kim H
