Hello everyone :)
My name is Amber, and I'm a dedicated piggy slave. I just wanted to introduce myself and my six beautiful piggies.
Emma and Ella are my girls, and the rest are Emma's babies. They'll be staying with me until they're 8 weeks old (or longer if they don't find a home by then - the little boy is still looking), and then they'll be off to their new families!
Just want to clear one thing up.. No, I did not breed them ^.^ I adopted the mama when she was already pregnant.

Here is their cage set up. The babies are now 3 weeks old so I had to separate the baby boy from the ladies. It's so sad having him all alone, but it can't be helped, another litter is the last thing I want.

Cute piggies! Just be sure you have a lid on the male's cage that will lock down -- males are incredibly determined to get to females in hear, and can climb several levels of grids to do so.

Thank you :)
The lid to the males area is actually being used for the females area lol. If you look, the females are enclosed in a smaller cage, inside of the large cage. The top is acting as a divider and is baby-proofing the cage, as some of the female babies are still small enough to fit through the larger cages bars.

Even if he were to get out of the lipped in area he is he, he would be unable to make it through the enclosed cage divider, which does shut from the top (though I have it open in the photos). He's too tubby to fit through the little bars lol (as are all the babies, even the smallest).

Welcome! Your piggies are adorable! I'm Stephanie and my two girls are Princess Penelope and Miss Maybelline. I love the names Emma and Ella. :3

I hope you find a home for the little boy soon. They are all precious. :)

lol, nope, not me xD I don't have the financial means to properly care for 6 piggies, three would be my tops. 3/4 babies already have found their homes too, just waiting until they're 8 weeks before I ship them off to their forever-family.
