so, after much e-mailing, i went this afternoon to a local rescue to check out 2 boys i've had my eyes on. they're both lethal whites, males, about 2 years old (amazingly). they are nicely bonded. they are very cute, but are aching for a home of their own. they are both deaf and blind, and appear to have some developmental delays - according to their rescue mom, they still act like very young pigs, even tho they're 2 years old. they also both have overgrowing upper front teeth that i'll need to trim every few weeks or so. they clearly haven't had too much human contact, as they were a little skittish when i held them - but oh -i'm in love!!
i've spent the past few weeks reading everything i can get my hands on about the care of lethals. i do need some help from all of you however. i'll be picking them up next weekend, and have this week to get things together for them. ANY and ALL information you have from your experiences with lethals, or blinds pigs, in terms of cage size, etc would be helpful, even if i've already seen it.
the other question i have is mostly for the moderators, i think. there are some sensitive questions i have about what i was told at the rescue about their care. i have nothing but respect for people who run rescues, but sometime how they care for their pigs is a little different from what i have read about here. i don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, especially if the rescue reads this site, so is there someone out there i can PM with some questions? either someone with experience with lethals, or not? thanks. sorry, btw, if this request seems inappropriate or disrespectful - it's not meant to be - i'm just trying not to hurt anyone's feelings in a public forum!
