Welcome to both of you. I'm so glad you found us. Wish I could help you with the phone pictures, but I have no clue, I have a lap top. Sorry. I'm sure someone on here will be along that will be able to help you with the pictures. Meanwhile how old are your piggies, what kind do you have, tell us all about them. What names did you give them ect. You know give us the scoop about your little darlings. You'll find the topics on here are sorted out in Group topics, feel free to post in all the topics that you want to. Enjoy the forum!

Welcome Mindynelson.
I'm new too so haven't any advice for you except that the search engine is great for finding info on here and the sticky-threads in the various sections are really useful. Also the experienced folk on here have been great at answering my questions.
I'm still in the process of research myself!
Good luck with your piggies x

welcome to the forum! we'd love to hear about your piggies if you're having trouble with pics :)

the standard advices are to make sure your piggies are the right gender (if they're new to you :D) , you have a large enough cage ( C&C being the preferred choice), and you're feeding them abundant hay, good pellets, and a cup of fresh veggies daily :D

I am working on the photo situation because I have to upload the pic of my sweet angels. They are so sweet & loving. I have Piglet, she's white with a small dark patch around her eye. They said she was a little under 6 months when we got her (from pet store but that was before I knew right from wrong) & we've had her about 2 months now. I don't think she's that old though. And then we have Miss Piggy who we rescued from a neighbor that weren't able to take care of her well. She's white, with brown patches with the rocker. Spiky hair. They said she was under a year old but I'm not sure either. I know they're both girls though. We have a Midwest interactive cage coming in that's 18 square feet. Its actually 9 sq ft cages but you connect them together. We use fleece as bedding because I feel its softer. I'm OCD so we pretty much clean the cage with clean fresh fleece every other day & spot clean twice a day. I'm anxious to load photos for you guys to see. We feed the plain green pellets & tons of endless Timothy hay everyday. They love fresh veggies so we give them a nice helping once a day. With a constant supply of LOTS of fresh clean water

I use the fleece as well, but I change it like everyday cause I'm not sure what to put under it. Does anyone have any suggestions for Carl and me:eye-poppi
