Thought you guys may like to see a couple photos of a pair girls I took in today.
I picked them up today from a person on Kijiji who told me he took them from his friend who was going to use them as snake food. The guy had great intentions but was not prepared to house them or care for them correctly and was desperately looking for someone who could help.
The ad was only about 15 minutes from my house and since I lost Margaret earlier this month, I have some extra space and supplies so I decided to reach out and offer to take them off his hands.
I'm not sure if they will be permanent members of the clan yet, but in the mean time, they are set up in a secure cage with proper food and I'll be bringing them in to my vet for a wellness check next week. I figured this was the least I could do. They will be well cared for until I make any final decisions.
I'm not going to lie though, I'm definitely leaning towards keeping them! They are obviously very nervous, but both are gorgeous and they remind me a lot of my first pair, Margaret and Gretchen. Their faces are so similar, I couldn't ignore the ad. Lol, it's dangerous to surf kijiji or craigslist.
I'm not sure on their age and the man I got them from had no idea, but I don't think they are full grown yet. They are still on the small side, I'm thinking maybe in the 8 month range, but we all know its very hard to tell.
Anyways! Here's a couple photos of them in their quarantine cage. I have them separated in a different room, well away from my ladies. For now they are in the extra large pet store cage, but I'm going to see if it's possible to whip up a cat proof C&C for their quarantine until they are clear to move into the pig room.
I'll update as they become more comfortable with their surroundings.
