So, it came to my attention that my usual pig sitter (she's the bomb. Seriously THE BEST EVER.) most definitely will not be available during the Christmas holidays!
My husband and I spend the night before Christmas eve with my parents and have Christmas with them on Christmas eve. After being at my parents we go to HIS parent's house (20 minutes from my parents) and stay the night there Christmas eve night and spend Christmas day with them.
There is no way my husband and I would be able to afford the gas money to go home (45 minutes from my parents and over an hour from his parents) and care for our piggies in between these events, the gas money would literally kill us. So, my question is: Would it be best to bring our pigs with us? My parents have 2 dogs (a boxer/plott hound mix and a chihuahua/dachshund mix) but they are VERY gentle (they hang out with my parents 6 chickens! Best of buds!) and we would have our own studio apartment below the house to stay in for the night/day and my husbands parents don't have pets so they would be plenty safe!
Would a 2x3 c&c cage be enough for 3 pigs for just 2 days, or is that too small? I have portable coro for a 2x3 and grids that I could bring with us. I know my parents wouldn't mind us having them with us, but I'm not too sure if my in-laws would be okay with it (even though it's just for a day).
I'm a worrier and have a very restless, anxious, and obsessive mind so if I could get feedback on my situation and what I should plan for that would be awesome! I want to do what is best for my pigs!
