Hi there! My name is Jenna. And this is how the pig obsession started. In 2008 I got two pigs from Petco (rookie mistake) Rachael- a tricolored Peruvian mix and Monica -an abyssinian mix. Named after the two characters off Friends of course. They were first kept in a small petstore cage but after research they soon moved into a 2 by 5 C&C cage. They were such great friends. Always doing zoomies and popcorns around the cage- there isn't a better sight then a couple of happy pigs. Right before Christmas Rachael died from a sudden unstoppable heart attack. That was the worst thing I have ever experienced. I immediately removed Monica and made a 2 by 3 cage to go right in the living room so she could get more interaction. I knew I wouldn't be getting anymore pigs.Monica was already 4, and a baby would outlive her. Then I would have to get a friend for the baby. Would the cycle of pigs ever stop? Monica would have to be by herself for the rest of her life, the cycle had to stop someday. That's what I thought until I found a pig in a rubber maid container. So adorable. Why would someone do that? I took it to the vet. Turned out to be a female whose four years old. After living with me for a three weeks she is in great health! Very friendly and is the loudest and the most friendly pig I have ever met. Her name is now Marmalade. Reminds me so much of the pig I lost. And she's Monica's age. I introduced them and they are doing great! They meet at floor time daily. I will build a cage and post it when I'm done Here are the two buddies. Marmalade is on left and Monica is one the right.
