Hello All! I've recently (one month today) adopted two wonderful boys-Brownie and Ty. They started off as a birthday gift for my daughter, but quickly won the hearts of the whole family. My husband and I are head over heels for these guys. Three months prior to the boys joining our family we read books, visited several locations, and watched numerous videos all to ensure piggies were the perfect pet for our family-and they are. Just in love! I am very impressed with this site and the warmth of every one out there helping newbies like me.

Thank you for creating a wonderful site! I look forward to being apart of this community.

Thank you Varcoda. I am not a person who jumps into anything without knowning what I am getting into. With holding a life in my hands I wanted to make sure not only was I up for the responsiblity, but the whole family. So far everyone is doing the part wonderfully. We are all so in love with our boys we want the very best for them.

Within the first week of having them we changed from the paper shaving to the fleece. I found that Brownie was sneezing everday when my husband was doing the daily cage cleaning. I felt this was not good for him. So we looked for an alternetive bedding. Fleece is working out wonderfully! Kids really liked being able to pick out a special pattern for Brownie and Ty. I like the no smell and more importantly Brownie doesn't sneeze. So I think we've are improving their well being.

how do they like that bed, I normally see it at petco/petsmart. I have a cats rest mat and put my pigloo on that, they love it.
