Hello all!
So, as some of you may know, I am expanding my 2x6 with a 2x2 loft to a 3x6 with a 2x2 L-shaped expansion. I will also be keeping the 2x2 loft and possibly adding another 1x2 loft.
So, I am slowly getting the supplies I need. I am stocking up on large fleece pieces, lots of towels, and I have bought the shower curtains, etc.
The whole cost for the add on is about $60 so I'm happy it's pretty cheap.
Also, I might be getting 2-3 new pigs. This is just a possibility.
Pigs are sort of uncommon in the rescues in my area.
I want sows, and I want them to be between 1-3 years old.
I have my eyes on a couple, but they're about an hour away and I don't know if I want to go that far.
But, I will just have to keep my eye out for some at my local rescue, and wait for some cuties to come along.
I won't probably do the entire renovation for another month or so, because I need to get everything in order.
I have to clean out my closet and everything, and just plan everything.
I also probably wan't be able to do the introduction and the new cage on the same day, because I will probably finish the cage before pigs come along.
So I also have some questions about more pigs and my new cage...
-What is a good amount of water bottles, hay racks, and food bowls for about 4 sows?
-Since I won't be able to introduce in the new cage, how big should the area be? And everything is new right, like the fleece and hideys?
-If I get my pigs from a rescue, will I have to quarantine them? If so, how long?
-If the pigs just end up not getting along, should I re-home them?
-How much extra money a month will it cost
If anyone has a 3x6 will you please share pictures? I need ideas aha!
Thanks in advance guys!
