Thank you. Do you know of anything we can do in the meantime? As we cannot add to the cage immediately? They seem calm right now, I'm concerned were going to leave the apartment and they are going to get into a more serious fight when we aren't here. When they do fight, should we separate them, or let them figure out who is the "alpha" pig so to speak? Thank you. I do sincerely want what is best for them. Do you have any ideas of cost effective ways to expand the cage? Our budget is tight... @Saylavi We got them a week apart, put them in a neutral territory together for a bit then after a bit of getting to know each other we out them together in a clean cage.
Where can you find C&C grids and the coropast(?) to go underneath? Would an upstairs suffice?Uh, the cheapest thing I can think to do is get C&C grids and add them to the Midwest grids, that being said if you don't have the space in your home to have a 3'x10' cage you may need to get creative.
I can try floor time, and save up and figure out the cage thing. The pigs are the only pets. One more question. Whenever we've done floor time in the past they just hide...any suggestions on getting them to be active in floor time? We have a big linoleum covered area we've used. Then put down newspaper and fleece so they can grip the floor.Yes and no, they need floor space more than anything, I wouldn't do more than 2 levels.
i get my grids on Amazon.com
also @bpatters I know what I did wrong, https://www.guineapigcages.com I keep thinking a square meter is 6 square feet, it's 10.7 (says google.) Yay imperial measurements and my bad math.
Danielle floor time will help, give them ample floor time to wear themselves out as often as possible, tired piggies fight less. Yes that means poo on your floors, and you shouldn't do that if you have dogs, but...
