Picking up two boars Wednesday evening!!!!
Chester seems toonky cough because of dust and allergies like that and I've decided to start looking for some piggies who need a new home.
A woman on craigslist had an ad up for two boys in separate cages who she doesn't have time for any more after having two kids and getting a dog.
I won't know until I see them but I think they are in good health and I'm fairly certain they have their cages right next to each other so they are familar.
Eventually I am going to try and bond the two newbies (Max a old feller and Hershey anotheryoung guy) with my sweetheart chester. And have them all in one cage. Any tips on introducing them? Should I do intros with Max and Hershey first? I don't need to quarintine them away from each other because they lived right next to each other so I figured I could see if they will bond while they are in quarantine from Chester.
Does that seem like a good idea or should I keep them all in separate cages until the big day to introduce all three??
Also what are the first few things I should be caucious of when rescuing piggies? I believe they come from a loving home but you never know if the previous owners were ignorant until you actually get there. I can start them on vitamin c immediately and they will have access to unlimited fresh leafy timothy and veggies and good oxbow pellets.
Also any tips with large cage making or stacking cages!!!
She is giving me all of her supplies and their cages for free with the furbabies. But her larger cage she said is about 1.5x2 ft and the other cage is much smaller. I'd like to get each pig into an decent size ASAP.
okay dokes!!! I will definitely post Wednesday night when the babies come home <3
