Here's a photo of two of my piggies. having summer watermelon.
RodentCuddles your cage is lovely and looks like it will be a great home for precious. Bpatters is right - thin stips/slivers are easier for them to suck in their mouths. Think spaghetti. One of the things you can do when you out the food/veggies in the cage is knock on the floor of the cage. The vibrations will become a cue to her that food is there. Also, so she doesn't startle so badly when you pick her up, I try to softly blow on her fur, to let her know I'm coming.
If you need help with the teeth trimming thing, let us know. I was very scared the first time I had to do it. Now, it's nothing! But you do have to have the right tool. Don't use nail clippers, by the way!
I hope you get to keep her. Tell your mum that she needs a very special person to take care of her, and no one can do that better than you, with the help of this forum!
