sorry guys for being so late with this but here is an update...
We have got the grids for the cage for building, all that is left is getting the coroplast..... A few plans has changed. My sister wants in on this gig, which I happily consented to, so we are going to try to bond our pigs so that they can share the one cage. We hope to bulid a 2by4 grids cage with a loft for hay and food and such. I have already switched my piggie to fleece and have enough fleece for the bigger cage but I think that it might just be easier for us to just use a soft small wood flake for bedding, my sister's pig needs a soft bottom for her feet and it is cheaper for us to get small wood flakes from Thiesians, which lasts longer for us, than using fleece. We'll see what happens. Though I was looking forward to making cuddle sacks for the piggies, which would work better on fleece bedding than wood.
So that's the update. I will let you guys know what more happens after it happens.
..... oh, on a side note, we have tried to switch the piggies from the Kaytee pellet foods to Oxbow and they don't like the Oxbow stuff. So we are currently looking to see about getting hay and pellets from KMS. My only worry with this is that because of how the pellets come in bulk I don't want to have the piggies not like it and then have all this food left over laying around, and having wasted that money.
Until we decide what to do, I am still mixing the Oxbow stuff with their Kaytee pellets. Is there anything else I can do that will get them to eat the Oxbow pellets until we find an alternative or so we don't have to find an alternative, because I have a 5lb bag of the pellets and I don't want to waste them? Any ideas?
